No Smoking Day– 12th March

The NHS Smoking Cessation Service will have a ‘stand’ at Main Site in college on the 27th February 2008. There will be information, freebies and advice given by Clive Doutrey. This will be followed up by a session on 5th March, ‘Commit to Quit’, for anyone interested in giving up smoking on ‘No Smoking Day’. Clive will be able to discuss the help and support available to you.
Information, facts and quizzes (like the one below) can be found on the No Smoking Website: www.nosmokingday.org.uk

The cost of smoking . . .

How much do you smoke? How long have you been smoking? Use our ready reckoner to find out how much cash you’ve puffed away … Stopping smoking now could be like giving yourself a hefty pay rise – and it’s one benefit you’ll feel straight away. The actual cost for a basic rate taxpayer of smoking 20 a day for a year is £2,429!
