ASH Wales was established in 1976 as a branch of ASH UK. In 2007 ASH Wales became an independent company limited by guarantee and a charity registered in Wales.
ASH Wales is a public-health charity engaged in a variety of projects including campaigning for tobacco-control public-health policy, research, training, educational workshops, advocacy, and support.
The organisation is the only one in Wales with the sole task of tackling the ill health caused by tobacco use. The organisation’s main aim is to achieve a reduction in, and eventual elimination of, the health problems associated with tobacco use.
