Poster: Tobacco use and mental health in Northern Ireland - shaping a policy response using local data and analysis of policy documents across the UK and Ireland
Tobacco use and mental health

This poster presents the findings of research undertaken by IPH which examined the relationship between mental health and smoking in Northern Ireland. 

The report found that around one in three people who smoke in Northern Ireland had a possible psychiatric disorder. It also considered tobacco control policy approaches to this issue across the UK and Ireland. 

The report findings supported the Department’s End of Term Review of the Tobacco Strategy
