Abstract

By summer 2007 smoking in all enclosed public places will be banned in the UK, while in October the legal minimum age to buy tobacco is to rise from 16 to 18 in England and Wales. As well as protecting against environmental tobacco smoke the government believes an additional 600,000 smokers will quit as a result of the ban. Through the NHS smokers can access support to help them quit. Nurses in all settings have an important role to play in educating and supporting smokers to quit.

摘要

到2007年夏天，英国将禁止在所有封闭的公共场所吸烟，而在10月，英格兰和威尔士购买烟草的法定最低年龄将从16岁提高到18岁。政府认为，除了防止接触环境烟草烟雾外，这项禁令还将使另外60万吸烟者戒烟。吸烟者可以通过国民保健制度获得帮助他们戒烟的支持。所有医疗机构的护士在教育和支持吸烟者戒烟方面都发挥着重要作用。
