Taking action on smoking and health
Sign UpFollowing government guidance, ASH Scotland staff members are now working from home.
ASH Scotland will continue to operate our information service and will run other work and engagement projects in as uninterrupted a fashion as possible – excluding taking part in face-to-face meetings and/or training. If you have a query for any of our staff, please email: enquiries@ashscotland.org.uk, rather than phoning our offices, and we will make sure to get back to you.
During these challenging times, we are joining our voice with that of the World Health Organization (WHO), and are urging people to Be Safe, Be Smart, and Be Kind:
Be Safe: wash your hands regularly and follow advice on social distancing. Help your health by eating healthy, keeping physically active where you can, and stopping smoking. Be aware that smoking can worsen the impact of respiratory viruses.
Be Smart: only share information from trusted sources and keep informed about what is happening in your local area.
Be Kind: show compassion to others, practice self-care, and look out for the most vulnerable.
