Smoking which is still a socially acceptable addiction unlike other addictions, is more and more prohibited in public places. Hospitals are one of the major ones of the prohibited areas. Inspite of this fact, establishing smoke-free psychiatric and dependency units is not an easy task and should be discussed. This paper aims to clarify the possible outcomes of smoking cessation and prohibition in psychiatric wards and dependency units, and solutions to possible problems that may arise.
