Smoking is to be banned in all Norfolk NHS hospital sites over the next year. Patients who smoke will be told the hospital is a smoke-free zone and offered a range of therapies to help them quit the habit.
The Norfolk NHS Trust also plans to remove smokers' cubicles. Linda Caine from the NHS Stop Smoking Service said it is being done with good intentions.
She said: "We don't do them any favours at all by allowing them to smoke and it's time we sort of ran that flag up and said so."
"This is a health site, and is paid for with taxpayers money to provide the best health possible to the people of Norfolk," she added.
