Abstract
THE results of the first part of a two-phase study of smoking policies in middle and secondary schools in England and Wales are presented. Information sup plied by the headteachers from a total of 961 schools indicated that 48% had an official policy regarding teachers' smoking, 88% had an official policy regard ing pupils' smoking, and 95% undertook some form of smoking education. The nature of the policies varied greatly and there appeared to be a lack of consistent reasoning behind them. It is hoped that the second phase of the project, involving a detailed study of several selected schools, will provide information on which coherent smoking policies could be based.
