Local MP John McDonnell supports No Smoking Day in Hayes and Harlington

No Smoking Day (12th March) is encouraging smokers in Hayes and Harlington to take The Great No Smoking Day Challenge and kick the habit. In its 25th year, No Smoking Day is challenging smokers to quit for a week and take the opportunity to find out about help and support available for when they are ready to stop smoking.

Local MP John McDonnell is supporting this year’s No Smoking Day campaign. Thousands of No Smoking Day events are taking place all over the UK. There will be many sports activities, including local football clubs getting involved. Stop smoking services, fire and rescue services, supermarkets, and many more are out and about to help and support smokers who are ready to take the challenge!

Local MP John McDonnell said: “No Smoking Day is a fantastic campaign to help and support smokers who want to stop smoking. I’m encouraging smokers in Hayes and Harlington to take The Great No Smoking Day Challenge and give up cigarettes for good!

“Visit your local stop smoking service for help and advice on how to stop smoking and increase your chances of success by up to four times.”

Dan Tickle, Chief Executive of No Smoking Day, the charity behind the annual health awareness campaign, says, “Good luck to all smokers in Hayes and Harlington who are taking The Great No Smoking Day Challenge to improving their health in the best possible way on 12 March. Stopping smoking is the ultimate lifestyle overhaul. You’ll feel fitter and healthier and have more energy and more money! Good luck!”
