Health Campaign Inspires Smokers to Quit

A NEW health campaign aimed at encouraging smokers to quit is proving a hit in North Tyneside.
Since FRESH launched its Every Breath campaign last month, Stop Smoking services across the borough have had a number of people through their doors after being inspired by the TV advert highlighting the link between smoking and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).

COPD is a progressive disease and 80% of cases are caused by smoking.

It kills around 30,000 people every year in the UK, more than breast, bowel and prostate cancer.
