National no smoking day

Wednesday 10 March is national no smoking day. As part of this The Whittington’s stop smoking specialist Julie Brown will have a stand available between 11am-3pm. Here you can talk to Julie about how to give up smoking and receive information about the stop smoking services and clinics available in Islington. You will also be able to take a carbon monoxide test, which is far less daunting than it seems and is just a case of blowing into a tube that measures carbon monoxide levels in your breath.

In the afternoon there will also be a no smoking day bus parked in the forecourt for a period, again offering a range of advice and support. It is part of a wider Islington PCT initiative to help people break the habit. If you would like to give up smoking, there are many ways to do it, so do come along on Wednesday for some advice, tips and support.
