Advice for quitters on No Smoking Day
It’s getting closer to Wednesday 11th of March, the No Smoking Day for 2009.
The South West is gearing up to stub out cigarettes for good, and to drive home the benefits of becoming smoke free.
Events will be taking place across the region, and local NHS Stop Smoking Services will be providing advice and support to those who wish to quit.
In Bristol, there will be a double-decker bus at the podium. in Broadmead giving out advice from 9am-5.30pm, and an interactive smoking stand in Cabot Circus shopping centre.
Fiona Andrews from Smokefree South West said: “By choosing No Smoking Day as your quit date, South West smokers will be joining millions of others across the UK taking the first step toward a healthier lifestyle. You’re four times more likely to succeed in your quit attempt when using a free NHS Stop Smoking Service, and with over 1,000 access points to services in the South West, there is always free help and support nearby to help people to quit permanently.”
