World Tobacco Day 31st May
Smoking is still our country’s number one killer. Every year around 78,000 people in the UK
die from smoking, with many more living with debilitating smoking-related illnesses.
For World No Tobacco Day on 31st May, we’re encouraging everyone to start a conversation
with smokers and signpost them to quit support.
In England, around 60% of smokers want to quit, 10% of which intend to do so within 3
months. Currently, around half of all smokers in England try to quit unaided using willpower
alone, despite this being the least effective method. Getting support can greatly increase
someone’s chances of quitting successfully.
If you want help to quit smoking then contact Smokefree Life Berkshire who will support you on your journey.
