Closed petition Remove the smoking ban in psychiatric wards as it increases amount of incidents

Closed on

Help patients in psychiatric wards by removing the smoking ban. Government can present guidelines but alter the actual law.

The smoking ban means some patients get more distressed and have more incidents or restraints due to not being able to use the act of smoking to aid de-escalation.
