Abstract

Smoking contributes to poor mental health, and increases inequalities in physical health and premature mortality. Smoking is a leading contributor to the 7–23-year lower life expectancy among people with severe mental illness (SMI) compared to the general population. Some mental health professionals feel that providing physical health care is not within their remit. However, providing quitting support in mental health services can be highly effective and can help patients recover from all health problems.
