Intro: Two thirds of smokers want to stop and 83% wish they had never started smoking in the first place. No Smoking Day research with smokers has shown that people want to quit before they get ill but that the stench, the grime and the cost are everyday reminders about why they want to stop.
This year’s theme is about making a fresh start. It’s about making a change that improves the whole of your life. The campaign image reflects the stark difference between a smoke-filled and smoke-free life. . . .
Is there any action on smoke free environments in Gibraltar?
Yes, The Health Promotion Group has presented a 20-point plan to government on the issue of working towards a smoke free society. However, this has been ongoing since 2004 with little support or consideration.
