British Heart Foundation: No Smoking Day

The No Smoking Day campaign is organised by the No Smoking Day charity. In 2011 the No Smoking Day charity merged with the British Heart Foundation in order to secure the future of the campaign and to build on its long and successful history. The No Smoking Day campaign helps smokers who want to quit by creating a supportive environment for them, and by highlighting the many sources of help and advice available. The Day remains the UKs foremost public health event, bringing together professionals who share an interest in promoting health, generating significant media coverage, and providing an annual focus for the three in every four smokers who want to stop. Every year over a million smokers will use No Smoking Day to try to quit. The No Smoking Day charity also conducts year-round initiatives to encourage and support smokers who want to quit. These projects target specific communities, and aim to address health inequalities by coordinating networks of public health professionals from across the public, voluntary and private sectors.
