No Smoking Day

No Smoking Day is the UK's foremost annual health awareness campaign, helping over 1.5 million smokers quit for good since 1984. Broxbourne Council will be supporting the event by providing information on giving up smoking at all one stop shops and leisure centres. Information about what No Smoking Day is about is detailed below:
