Sunday 31st May marks World No Tobacco Day, a global campaign highlighting the importance of reducing tobacco use and supporting people to quit smoking.

Quitting smoking is one of the most positive steps someone can take for their health, but it can also be challenging. The good news is that support is available across Essex, with a wide range of organisations offering advice, guidance, and practical help to those looking to quit.
