A full smoking ban at all hospital sites in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan has been given the go-ahead.
Smokers will be prescribed with nicotine replacement patches to help them cope during their stay at affected hospital sites, but e-cigarettes will not be allowed.
Staff were already banned from smoking within the grounds but there were smoking shelters for patients.
The changes, adopted by other Welsh boards, was approved on Tuesday.
