No Smoking Day - 11th March 2020

Public Health England (PHE) - 'One You'

New digital resources for No Smoking Day are now available to download from the PHE Campaign Resource Centre (see update link below)

This year, No Smoking Day is on Wednesday 11th March. You can use the resources both in the lead up to 11th March and on the day itself

Quitting smoking is one of the best things you can do for your health, but many smokers who want to quit aren't sure about the best way to go about it. Relying on willpower alone is the least effective way to stop

The PHE No Smoking Day assets therefore encourage people to search 'Today is the Day' to find the support that could work for them

Public Health England - 'Health Matters'

The following edition of this 'subscribe to' newsletter focuses on the benefits of stopping smoking and mental health. It contains infographics, videos and other PHE resources which are most useful for you and your pharmacy team to refer to in your consultations with people contemplating quitting smoking.
