Smokers queue up for help to quit

Dr Rosemary Geller said that 250 people ‘of all ages and walks of life’ had so far signed up for the year-long Help 2 Quit course. The first ‘clients’ will start the programme next week with individual interviews at their GPs’ surgeries with one of three nurses employed by Health to run it. Health have set aside £450,000 to pay for the set-up and running of the smoking cessation service.
