Inishowen smokers urged to quit
07.02.08
|
INISHOWEN smokers have
been urged to use yesterday - Ash Wednesday and
National No Smoking Day - as the impetus to kick the
habit. |
Donegal-based Health
Promotion Minister, Pat 'The Cope' Gallagher,
advised smokers to get as much support as possible
to give up tobacco.
"Ash Wednesday is the traditional day that smokers
attempt to quit. There is more support available
today to help smokers give up than ever before,"
said Minister Gallagher.
"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," he added. |

Anyone who wants to
stop smoking but needs further information should
contact the National Smokers' Quitline on 1850 201
203. This helpline is operated by the Health
Services Executive (HSE) in partnership with the
Irish Cancer Society. |
