Health teams bid to help smokers quit
Health advisors have been on hand to help smokers quit the habit in west Wiltshire towns this week.
NHS Wiltshire’s Stop Smoking Service is at Coopers in Westbury until 2.30pm today, as well as Asda in Trowbridge from 1pm to 3pm tomorrow and Sainsbury’s in Melksham from 11am to 1pm on Saturday.
People visiting the stand can find out what support is available to help smokers quit and can also have carbon monoxide readings taken.
Since April 2008, 1,682 smokers in Wiltshire have stopped, according to figures compiled by NHS Wiltshire.
