No Smoking Day is an annual health awareness campaign that helps smokers to make a fresh start, free from tobacco.  Now in its 28th year, the 2011 campaign focus will be on supporting smokers who are motivated and ready to stop smoking.  NHS Brent is supporting this campaign by organising a number of easily accessible events for your convenience as listed below:

• At your local pharmacies and GP practices
• Alperton Bus Garage, 11am - 2pm
• Central Middlesex Hospital , 11am - 2pm
• Wembley Centre for Health and Care, 11am - 1pm
• Wembley Central Square, 10am - 4pm
• Brent House, One Stop Shop, 11am – 3pm

Our specialist trained advisors will be offering free carbon monoxide readings, lung-age testing and help, support and advice at all venues to those who want to stop smoking.

Simon Bowen, Acting Director of Public Health for NHS Brent PCT said:

“NHS Brent has helped over 1,500 people to stop smoking within the last year and this figure continues to rise.  No Smoking Day is a very good opportunity for people who live or work within Brent to stop smoking.”
