Give up smoking

Smoking is no longer allowed in virtually all enclosed public places and workplaces, including work vehicles and on public transport.

Around 70% of smokers say they want to stop smoking, and the smokefree law may provide extra motivation to do so. If you'd like to quit, there is excellent free support available from the NHS.

Going smokefree isn't easy, but when you see the drastic improvements to your life and health, you'll want to set your action plan going as quickly as you can.
