With a total smoking ban
in all public places in England due to begin from 1st July 2007, giving up smoking is one of the best things you can do
for your health, and the benefits will start to show very quickly. Smokers who
want to kick the habit can now get access to NHS services by contacting their
local GP surgery in
East
Cambridgeshire & Fenland
Primary Care Trust, or by
calling the new ‘Quit Smoking’ Freephone Number - 0800 1690169. For the first
time, all 17 GP surgeries within the local Primary Care Trust area now provide
advice and support to any patient who wants to give up smoking through trained
smoking cessation counsellors. If you are a smoker why not contact your local
surgery to find out more, or call the helpline on 0800 1690169. Alternatively
please call: Claire Mead, Healthy Lifestyles Co-ordinator on: 01353 654208.
