Cornwall Celebrates 40 Years of No Smoking Day with a Push for Smoke-Free Lives

Today marks the 40th anniversary of No Smoking Day, an annual event aimed at encouraging smokers to quit the habit for good.

Cornwall Council highlights the importance of support for those looking to give up smoking, revealing that with the right help, smokers are three times more likely to succeed in their quit attempts.

To commemorate this anniversary and further aid its residents in their journey towards a healthier lifestyle, Cornwall Council is promoting Healthy Cornwall’s text support service. This service is designed to be both free and user-friendly, providing a seamless way for individuals to receive the encouragement and information they need. By texting ‘SMOKEFREE’ to 82228, Cornwall’s residents can access a wealth of helpful tips, advice, tools, and motivation directly on their phones.

This effort is part of Cornwall’s ongoing commitment to public health and wellness, aiming to reduce the number of smokers in the community and the associated health risks. By leveraging modern technology and personalised support, Cornwall Council hopes to inspire more individuals to take the significant step of quitting smoking, making a positive change in their lives and the health of the community as a whole.
