NHS Forth Valley provides a Hospital Stop Smoking Service
All NHS Forth Valley premises and grounds are smoke-free, and this includes e-cigarettes.

This provides an ideal opportunity to quit smoking for good.

Smoke lingers in the air for 5 hours after the cigarette has been smoked, and can seep invisibly into or out of open windows and doors.
Having a smokefree homes means you, your family and your pets are safe from the 4,000 different chemicals given out in cigarette smoke – which cause short and longer-term health issues.
E-cigarettes are 95% less harmful to your health than normal cigarettes
Electronic cigarettes are devices that deliver nicotine by heating and vaporising a solution that typically contains nicotine, propylene glycol and/or glycerol, and flavourings.
Best estimates show e-cigarettes are 95% less harmful to your health than normal cigarettes, and when supported by a smoking cessation service, help smokers to quit altogether (Public Health England 2015).
