Established in 1976, ASH Wales has long worked to raise awareness of the health, social and economic effects of smoking. We do this by working closely with communities, young people and partner organisations across Wales to create change for the better.

For the 13% of adults who are not yet smokefree in Wales, smoking is the leading cause of ill-health and early death, and a major cause of inequalities.

Our ambition is to see Wales become Smokefree with less than 5% of the adult population smoking by 2030.
