Tobacco control activity in Scotland

The ASH Scotland Local Alliances Project has collated information about Scottish local authorities' and health organisations' work in tobacco control in order to provide an easily accessible source of information for those developing similar work across Scotland.  This resource has been developed to assist in identifying the work happening around the various tobacco control topics and providing an opportunity to learn from other's practice.
