PHO Webinar - Implementing Smoking Rooms in Supervised Consumption Sites - Key lessons
This discussion-centred roundtable will be focused on implementing supervised smoking/inhalation rooms in drug consumption sites. Service providers and people who use drugs have expressed the urgent need to expand existing supervised consumption sites to include smoking/inhalation rooms in response to increasing overdoses related to smoking drugs. The benefits of smoking/inhalation rooms also include increased engagement of people who smoke drugs and the reduction in barriers to consumption services. However, sites that are considering to include smoking/inhalation face a number of questions regarding air quality, employee safety, legislation, funding, implementation, and others.
