No Smoking Day - Wednesday 12 March 2008

Rethink have been working with the No Smoking Day campaign, providing information and sharing the experiences of service users who'd like to quit smoking.

No Smoking Day 2008 logoThe No Smoking Day campaign is a charity that helps smokers who want to quit by creating a supportive environment for them, and by highlighting the many sources of help and advice available.

The Day itself provides an annual focus for the three in every four smokers who want to stop. This year is The Great No Smoking day challenge - you can sign up for a quit pack, get sponsorship to quit and get text or e-mail messages of support. You can find out more at their website www.nosmokingday.org.uk

The No Smoking Day charity also conducts year-round initiatives to encourage and support smokers who want to quit. These projects target specific communities, and aim to address health inequalities by coordinating networks of public health professionals from across the public, voluntary and private sectors.
