Article Abstract:

Some of the measures and steps undertaken to help and support smokers to quit smoking, as the U.K. implements an official ban on smoking in all the enclosed public places are discussed. It is believed that nurses in all settings have an important role in preparing people to quit smoking, which will make the ban a bigger success by also limiting the adverse effects of public smoking.
