This is the 27th year of No Smoking Day which this year takes place on 10th March. It is designed to encouraging smokers in Mitcham and Morden to break free and kick the habit. No Smoking Day is a registered charity supported by an alliance of the UK’s health promotion agencies and major health charities.
I am supporting this year’s No Smoking Day campaign and will be visiting the exhibition at Morden Civic Centre on Wednesday.
No Smoking Day is a fantastic campaign to help and support smokers who want to stop smoking. I’m encouraging smokers in Mitcham and Morden to break free on No Smoking Day and give up cigarettes for good! In this current economic climate, hardworking families are finding it particularly difficult. I know people report significant savings when they stop buying cigarettes.
I would encourage anyone who smokes, to visit a local stop smoking service for help and advice on how to stop smoking and increase your chances of success by up to four times.
Duncan Bannatyne, No Smoking Day President, entrepreneur and Dragons’ Den star said: “Quitting smoking isn’t always easy. Most of the nine million UK smokers say they’d like to quit, and many have tried to stop several times over the last year. If you’ve tried and failed a few times, it’s easy to give up hope. But you’ll find few ex-smokers that quit the habit on their first attempt.”
So the message is clear – don’t give up trying to give up.
