More pledge to give up smoking

HUNDREDS stepped forward on No Smoking Day and took a huge leap forward to quit smoking for good, said NHS Warwickshire.

Specialist support to help people quit was provided by experts from NHS Warwickshire, local authority staff and the Warwickshire Stop Smoking Service at roadshows around the county last week.

Some quitters leaped over huge fake cigarettes at the roadshows, while others had a CO² test to find out how much oxygen in their bloodstream was being replaced by carbon monoxide, the same gas found in car exhausts.

Roadshows included Leam-ington, Stratford and Rugby.
