Smoke Free Hospitals
At Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board, the health of our communities and our staff is our first priority.
No smoking permitted in Cwm Taf Morgannwg’s hospitals and grounds.
This means that staff, patients and visitors are not able to smoke on any of the hospital sites across our Health Board.
The use of electronic cigarettes and ENDS products is not permitted in outdoor or indoor areas on Health Board sites, with the exception of adult in-patients in mental health units, who are permitted to use disposable electronic cigarettes in designated areas.
Since 1st March 2021, all hospital grounds in Wales have been smoke-free spaces. Smoke free legislation means that it is illegal to smoke on hospital grounds and smoking in a smoke free space could result in a Fixed Penalty Notice of £100.
Preventing people smoking on our hospital grounds will promote healthier care environments, protect hospital users from harmful second-hand smoke and support those using NHS services to quit.
