ASH Scotland is an independent Scottish charity working in partnership to protect people from the harm caused by tobacco.

ASH Scotland is a leading charity campaigning for effective tobacco control legislation in Scotland. For over 30 years, ASH Scotland has played a key role in raising awareness about tobacco use and its harmful effects and has contributed to the implementation of effective public health policies to help smokers to quit and to protect children from tobacco. Their main activities centre on an expert information service, parliamentary lobbying, campaigning, action-based projects and taking forward their partnerships and alliances, including the Scottish Tobacco Control Alliance (STCA).

ASH Scotland aims to achieve longer term outcomes through their work in Scotland. They are working to:

• Influence public attitudes to tobacco and smoking, making progress towards a healthier smoke-free society
• Cut youth smoking rates in line with or beyond national targets
• Enhance the quality and reach of stop smoking services
• Reduce the heavier and more widespread tobacco use that exists amongst those who are living in deprived communities or in marginalised groups, and work both to narrow the differential and to reduce overall smoking rates
• Increase the range of organisations supporting their aims and work
• Sustain ASH Scotland until their mission is achieved

ASH Scotland provides expert information and advice on all aspects of tobacco. Their database holds information on the social, political, and economic aspects of tobacco use in Scotland. ASH Scotland helps and supports a wide range of people - the general public, health professionals and others - by providing information and answering enquiries.
