 The Health Department want to ban smoking in enclosed spaces |
A campaign to persuade young smokers in Guernsey to quit has been launched. The island charity Quitline is offering an eight-week support programme for those giving up and up to eight weeks' worth of nicotine replacement therapy.
The End It Before It Ends You drive highlights the potentially fatal consequences of smoking.
Recent research suggests that although the total number of smokers on the island had fallen, the habit is still common among 18 to 24-year-olds.
The move is supported by Guernsey's Drug Strategy group, which said it believed there was a link between cannabis use and problems in stopping smoking.
