Help to Give Up Smoking
What help can I get if I want to give up smoking?
The new law is not about forcing people to give up smoking, but many people in Ireland and Scotland chose to give up when the smoking bans were introduced there. Most smokers want to give up, and many find it easier to do so once people at work or in the pub are no longer smoking around them.
Smoking is one of the main causes of ill health in Torfaen, and it is therefore important that we tackle levels of smoking if we are to see real improvements in health in Torfaen.
