services in order to develop great local events.
For further information on potential events and working relationships contact Maria Barnett at maria.barnett@asda.co.uk.
Fire
Kills Campaign
The Department for Communities and Local Government's Fire Kills campaign
is supporting No Smoking Day for the third year running.
Fire and Rescue Services across England will receive a briefing from the Department for Communities and Local Government about No Smoking Day towards the end of January, including media relations advice and encouragement to forge partnerships with local stop smoking services.
If you'd like to work with your local Fire and Rescue Service you can find their contact details in the Yellow Pages or at www.firekills.gov.uk. When you call ask to speak to the Community Fire Safety Officer. This website also has information and advice about how to protect yourself, your loved ones and your home from fire.
Ticketmedia
Ticketmedia calls its advertising 'the poster in your pocket'. Its bus and
train ticket advertisements can get information about your services into
people's hands at a time when they have a few minutes to actually read it
and take it in.
Ticketmedia is offering No Smoking Day organisers a greatly reduced rate when they advertise around the time of the campaign (1 January to 14 March 2008).
Simply log on to http://www.ticketmedia.com/nsd/ and follow their three step guide to planning a campaign, or give them a call to talk through your ideas.
Label
Advertising
Label Advertising offers a new and different way of advertising to and targeting
smokers. Its cigarette bins are free standing and wall mounted, situated
at busy locations which means they are hard to miss. They are strategically
placed in clubs, pubs and restaurants, so they are on constant view to people
in and passing by these establishments, ensuring they're seen again and
again by smokers. A unique way to capture your audience!
Label Advertising is offering a fantastic discounted rate to No Smoking Day organisers when they advertise around the time of the campaign (1 January to 14 March 2008).
For further information, contact Mark Campion on 0161 838 5641 or 07825 604 222 or email mark@labeladvertising.co.uk.
Military
The Royal Navy, the Army, the Royal Air Force and the Defence Dental Services
will be running their own No Smoking Day campaign. Service personnel throughout
the world will be receiving specially branded information about the campaign.
Contact your local base if you would like to work with them to help service personnel to stop smoking.
Rethink
Rethink, the leading national mental health membership charity, works to
help everyone affected by severe mental illness recover a better quality
of life.
The charity has 340 services in England and Northern Ireland and each service will receive information about No Smoking Day.
The services are all very keen to work with organisers in their local area who can offer cessation help on and after No Smoking Day.
To help you develop a mutually beneficial, ongoing partnership we have produced this guide to working with Rethink .

fertility problems, offering face-to-face and telephonic support and information

and works to improve investigations when a baby dies.

British
Association of Dermatologists
Dermatologists are the experts in skin disease, and the British Association

impact on the skin. Smoking causes wrinkles and premature skin ageing, and
scientists have also discovered a new form of acne specifically linked to
smoking. For further information, please contact Nina Goad on 0207 391 6355,

CBS
Outdoor
CBS Outdoor media (buses, National Rail and the London Underground) captures
and captivates more communities on the move than any other form of poster
advertising. The people you most want to communicate with - the 2/3 of smokers
who are trying to quit - notice ads on our media (TGI 2007).
By advertising on CBS Outdoor media, you can promote your No Smoking Day event or raise awareness of your local Stop Smoking Service to smokers in big numbers. We also have special discount packages available to No Smoking Day organisers who book and advertise their campaign with us before the end of March 2008.
