Action on Smoking and Health (ASH) [1] is a campaigning public-health charity working to eliminate the harm caused by tobacco, through information and networking (opinion and awareness-raising about tobacco use) and advocacy and campaigning (pressing for policy measures to tackle the issue). It is also the secretariat for the All Party Parliamentary Group on Smoking and Health [2]. ASH encourages action at community level – it has produced a Local Toolkit, a set of materials for local public-health professionals to use to demonstrate the harm caused locally by tobacco (and its impact on health inequalities), the cost to local communities and economies, and the effect that tackling it could have [3].
