Tobacco Information Scotland ( TIS) is a new initiative from the ASH Scotland Information Service. TIS was developed to provide the best possible gateway to tobacco-related information in Scotland, providing access to key policy documents and guidelines, statistics, and health promotion materials. http://www.tobaccoinscotland.org.uk

This legislation offers an historic opportunity to improve levels of public health in Scotland and to reduce health inequalities, both now and for future generations.
