It is a pandemic that we ourselves have created, and it has led to devastating medical, social, economic and environmental consequences, while also placing obstacles in the path of sustainable development. Smoking is defined as a chronic, addictive and relapsing disease, which generates other chronic diseases, some of which are considered to be primary causes of mortality. Tobacco is a psychoactive substance that is addictive and conflictive, and which causes direct, cultural and structural violence. It is the cause of premature death for about 8 million people a year, 60,000 of whom are Spanish. Many of these victims live in mid and low income countries. 11.5% of global mortalities can be attributed to its effects1. The prevalence of smoking amongst prison inmates is about 70%, while prison staff are twice as likely to smoke as members of the general public, with the added aggravating effect of being passive smokers. More than 14.5 million people in prisons smoke every year around the world2. There are currently about 46,000 inmates in Spanish prisons, of whom 3,500 are women, with an average age of between 40 and 41 years, 75% of whom are Spanish. The prevalence of smoking in prisons is 74.4% amongst men and 67.4% amongst women, just under double the figures for the general public in Spain. Tobacco is by far the legal or illegal drug most commonly consumed by the inmate population3. Although prisons are punitive spaces, it should not be forgotten that their main objectives are reeducation and social reintegration. They also fulfil an important role in public health through their work in health restoration, prevention and promotion, and by implementing healthy habits and reducing high-risk ones amongst inmates. It is a well known fact that “prison health is public health”4. Smoking cessation is not easy, but it is not impossible. It is a decision made by the smoker, in the exercise of their personal autonomy, and external help is usually required. Inmates do try to give up smoking, as do those outside prison, and although it is more difficult for them than it might be for the general public, interventions to help incarcerated smokers have achieved notable levels of success5. In addition, prohibitions against smoking in prisons have been shown to improve air quality by notably reducing second-hand smoke6, which minimises the effects for passive smokers and benefits both inmates and the personnel that care for and attend them. Likewise, the implementation of smoke-free prison policies has increased the dispensation of nicotine substitute therapies, which implies an increase in abstinence, a decrease in smoking cessation habits, and fewer prescriptions for medications to treat smoking related problems, such as respiratory and cardiova","PeriodicalId":30044,"journal":{"name":"Revista Espanola de Sanidad Penitenciaria","volume":"25 2","pages":"43-44"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/60/47/2013-6463-sanipe-25-02-43.PMC10366707.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10319216","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
