Smokers to get the chance to Breathe Free  

SMOKERS can achieve better health and create a healthier environment for themselves and those around them through the Breathe Free Programme, which will be launched in Barbados with an opening ceremony on September 24 at the Savannah Hotel.

This session, being conducted by the Chief Medical Officer in St. Vincent, Dr. St. Claire Thomas, will be followed by the nine-day course beginning October 10. George Best, Realtor of Bendian Realty and Leader of the Health and Temperance committee at the SDA church on Government Hill, said that the reason why there is a time gap between the opening ceremony and the course is because they want to give persons time to go home and reflect on the information before joining.

The course is derived from the American programme and participants will go through physical, mental and social preparation in order to cease smoking.
