Intro: Ms Mary Wallace, T.D. Minister of State for Health Promotion and Food Safety at the Department of Health and Children today, 24th February 2009, called on smokers to try to give up smoking. She is urging smokers to resolve to use the opportunity of 25th of February, “National No Smoking Day”, as the starting point to try to give up smoking.
“National No Smoking Day” is a traditional day that smokers attempt to quit. There is more support available today to help smokers quit than ever before.“The link between cardiovascular disease, cancers and smoking is well documented. Giving up smoking is the single most important thing smokers’ can do for their own health and the health of those around them”, the Minister said.
Anyone wishing to quit or those who need further information should contact the Smoking Quitline at 1850 201 203
