The Campaign
No Smoking Day is the UK's foremost annual health awareness campaigns in the UK, helping over 1.5 million smokers quit for good since 1984.
With No Smoking Day, there's no pressure. When smokers are ready to stop, we're here and ready to help.
The success of No Smoking Day is built on our commitment to building partnerships with all those who share our vision. We bring together like-minded individuals and organisations from across the UK to share skills and focus attention on smoking cessation for one day.
The main messages of No Smoking Day:
- No Smoking Day is a good opportunity to stop
- Smokers can get help when they want to stop
- There are health and other benefits to stopping smoking
What No Smoking Day does:
- Spurs smokers into action – 1.2 million people took part in No Smoking Day 2008
- Appeals to smokers of all types - whatever their age, sex or social class
- Publicises and explains the help that smokers can get when they want to stop
- Captures the attention of the media with lots of supportive TV, newspaper and radio coverage
What No Smoking Day doesn't do:
- Try to force smokers to stop - No Smoking Day is for the majority of smokers who want to quit
- Harass smokers - it's not about banning smoking, or picking on smokers
- Work in isolation - smokers need support before and after the Day too
