Abstract: Issues: We conducted a systematic review to examine whether smoking bans alone are effective in achieving smoking cessation in people released from prison, and patients discharged from mental health or substance use settings. Approach: We searched health, criminology and social science databases. Detailed search strings were used to combine terms related to smoking bans and cessation interventions in prison, mental health and substance use treatment settings. We used backward and forward snowballing and manual hand searching to find additional studies. Studies were included if they: were published between 1 January 2000 and 25 February 2022; included a complete smoking ban; measured people released from prison and/or mental health and/or substance use patients smoking post‐release/discharge from a smoke‐free facility; and reported smoking cessation intervention and/or smoking ban outcomes. Methodological quality was assessed using the Effective Public Health Practice Project's Quality Assessment Tool for Quantitative Studies and reviewed by two authors. Key Findings: People released from prison, mental health and substance use in‐patients who experience a smoking ban while incarcerated or in in‐patient settings often relapse to smoking shortly after release or discharge. We found that although smoking bans alone do not promote cessation, multi‐component interventions in combination with smoking bans can significantly increase cessation rates post‐release/discharge provided they support participants during this time. Conclusions: There is limited evidence to suggest tobacco bans alone in prison, mental health and substance use treatment settings are effective in achieving long‐term smoking cessation. This review suggests that combining smoking bans and cessation interventions including pre‐ and post‐release/discharge support can be effective in achieving smoking cessation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
