Smokefree South West is to stage a stop smoking exhibition at Bradley Stoke’s Willow Brook Centre on Tuesday 26th October 2010, from 9am to 5pm.

The event will showcase the free support available to smokers in the area to help them kick the habit for good.

Lindsay Thomas, Head of NHS South Gloucestershire’s Stop Smoking Service, said:

“We helped over 1,500 people in South Gloucestershire quit smoking last year. This is a great opportunity to engage with smokers from across the area that might not have had a chance to find out about the free support and advice available to them.”

Smokers looking to kick the habit in 2010 will be able to get advice from NHS South Gloucestershire’s Stop Smoking Team this week in Bradley Stoke.

The team will be at the Willow Brook Shopping Centre on Friday 8th January.

Justin Boult, Stop Smoking Adviser at NHS South Gloucestershire, said:

“If your New Years resolution is to give up smoking then you don’t need to go it alone. You are four times more likely to stick to your resolution if you use our free Stop Smoking Service, where we can offer you support, advice and a range of nicotine replacement therapies to help you quit and break the habit.”

Weekly support sessions are held on Thursday at Bradley Stoke Leisure Centre.
