Isle of Man Prisoners Helped To Quit Smoking
Source: BBC Online
Date: 22nd July 2007
Prison staff on the Isle of Man are carrying out training courses so they will be able to offer stop-smoking counselling to prisoners on the island.
The courses are planned to help inmates who want to quit ahead of next March's smoking ban in the Isle of Man.
The decision to bring in the ban at the prison, and not seek legislative exemption, came after surveys of staff and prisoners.
Prisoners will be offered counselling and nicotine replacement therapy.
