Stop Smoking Service outside Asda in Harlow

ADVISERS from the West Essex Stop Smoking Service will be outside the Asda store in Harlow today (Wednesday) to mark national No Smoking Day.

The service will be providing people with special vouchers entitling them to up to a month’s supply of nicotine replacement products for the price of a prescription. The products will be free for those who do not pay for prescriptions.

As well as advice being offered on how to quit smoking, there will also be prize draws and giveaways throughout the day.

Ray Lockett, who manages the local stop smoking service, encouraged smokers to make an appointment to visit the advisors.

He said: “You’re four times more likely to quit smoking with professional support. Stopping smoking is the single biggest step you can take towards a longer healthier life.”

People wanting to know more about the voucher scheme and how to quit smoking
can call the stop smoking service on 01279 827866.
