Giving up smoking

Smoking has been proven to be linked with heart disease and cancer. Research has also shown that even people who do not smoke are at risk when they breathe in second hand smoke.

If you want to give up smoking there is plenty of help available. Your own doctor can help and many doctor's surgeries have smoking clinics.
