Estonian Prisons Maintain Complete Smoking Ban Estonian prisons have maintained a complete smoking ban since 2017, according to officials. The policy reflects a broader effort to promote health and rehabilitation within the correctional system. Head of the Estonian Prison Service, Rait Kuuse, addressed the issue during an appearance on “Kuku Morning Radio.” He stated that the current approach—which permits nicotine patches for inmates—suggests a potential future allowance for Estonian prisoners. Kuuse indicated that if nicotine patches are also allowed for planned Swedish prisoners housed in Estonia, it is reasonable to anticipate a similar provision for Estonian inmates at some point. He emphasized that the service is continually evaluating its policies regarding inmate health and well-being. The existing regulations focus on providing alternative cessation methods and supporting inmates in their efforts to quit smoking. The prison service prioritizes a controlled environment and aims to minimize the negative health impacts associated with tobacco use. This policy remains consistent with international standards for correctional facilities. Further details regarding specific inmate programs and support services are available through the Estonian Prison Service.
