Today is National Non-Smoking Day in the UK
Held on the second Wednesday of March each year, and now in its 19th year, No Smoking Day helps people across the UK who want to stop smoking. The campaign encourages and assists smokers to give up, and publicises the many sources of help available to people. Each year over a million smokers join in the day, while an estimated 40,000 actually quit.
