Titled “Dyfodol: Smoking and Mental Health,” the document reveals that individuals with mental health conditions are more likely to smoke, exacerbating their health challenges.

The report advocates for targeted smoking cessation programmes tailored for those with mental health issues. It underscores the need for collaborative efforts among healthcare providers, policymakers, and community organisations to address this pressing issue.

By focusing on prevention and cessation, the report aims to reduce health inequalities and enhance overall well-being in Wales.
