Abstract
A joint report by the Royal College of Physicians and the Royal College of Psychiatrists, published March 2013
Endorsed by Cancer Research UK and the Faculty of Public Health
This report draws on substantial evidence to highlight the plight of smokers with mental disorders, and reveals that only a minority of people from this group receive effective smoking cessation interventions by the NHS. This causes major reduction in their life expectancy and quality of life, exacerbates poverty and presents huge economic costs to the NHS and wider society.
