Hospitals in Wales are smoke-free by law, and our health board has a policy of no vaping indoors or outdoors. Second-hand tobacco smoke is very harmful, and we’re committed to protecting the health of everyone on our hospital sites.
From today (3 November 2025), there are now three smoke-free loudspeakers at entrances in the Royal Glamorgan Hospital, Prince Charles Hospital and Princess of Wales Hospital to support smoke-free sites.
If you see someone smoking or vaping near the entrance, you can help by pressing the smoke-free button. It plays a short message reminding people that smoking or vaping isn’t allowed.
Why it matters
- Protects everyone from the harms of second-hand tobacco smoke
- Supports people trying to quit smoking by reducing triggers to smoke
- Reduces litter and fire risk from cigarette waste
- Prevents fire alarm activations from vaping indoors
Every press makes a difference. Thank you for helping us stay smoke-free.
Our free and friendly Help Me Quit services can help anyone looking to quit smoking or vaping. If you would like to give it a go, visit the Help Me Quit website or call 0800 085 2219.
