Smoking in psychiatric inpatient units has been, until recently, a widespread anomaly among health settings. A total smoking ban was implemented in the Acute Psychiatric Unit at Jerez Hospital (Cadiz) and this experience is here described. Different stages of the implementation process, caveats and ways of sorting them out, are then described. Finally, cost and advantages are also presented.
