What evidence is there that smokefree prisons are being implemented in the EU/internationally?
Please find the results of a recent literature search conducted in February 2018 on smokefree prisons here.

The results are organised as such:

Stop smoking services in prisons (22 results)
Prevalence of smoking in prisons (15 results)
Other / may be of interest (15 results)
