Abstract
Smoking is closely linked to severe mental illness and has a major detrimental impact on individuals' lives. Despite this and the recent societal 'de-normalisation' of smoking, the historic 'smoking culture' still prevails within mental health settings. Change is urgently required to prevent a widening of existing health gaps.
