Rise in city smokers
Friday, July 04, 2008, 07:30
Latest figures from Derby City Primary Care Trust show that 157 smokers in the city kicked the habit in the first two weeks of the year, against a target of 85.
The trust measures the numbers who quit for at least four weeks, so there is a delay in recording and reporting the figures.
Over the last financial year, 2007-8, the trust topped its stop-smoking target, helping 2,554 people to stub out the habit, against a plan of 2,510. The trust offers individual and group stop-smoking support services. Call Fresh Start on 0800 7076870.
