The 2008 No Smoking Day will be on Wednesday 12 March and will be the 25th No Smoking Day. This year’s campaign theme is ‘The Great No Smoking Day Challenge’ and is an acknowledgement of the really tough challenge that quitting smoking is.
The Great No Smoking Day Challenge helps individual participants become part of a bigger challenge and a national event. But it’s designed also to support group quit attempts, and has been received enthusiastically by stop smoking groups that plan to integrate the challenge theme into their activities.
Part of the theme is to encourage smokers to just stay focused on a manageable target – the first week. Of course, we all hope many will go on to live a life free of tobacco. The week-long challenge will help quitters develop the confidence to that they can succeed. It will also drive many smokers to take advantage of the help and support that’s available to quit for good.
