SMOKERS in Bradford are being urged to take pride in quitting and sign up to No Smoking Day on March 11.
The campaign day, organised by the British Heart Foundation is estimated to inspire over one million smokers to quit. nationally.
Joanne Nykol, tobacco lead for Bradford Council’s public health department, said: “Many smokers find quitting difficult and we know those who receive support are more likely to give up for good.
“We are backing No Smoking Day as an initiative that reduces the number of people smoking in the district as we work towards creating a smoke free future.”
Across the district, smoking causes around 800 smoking-related deaths each year.
