SMOKERS in Sedgefield borough who want to stop can now attend classes which have already proved a big success.
Stop smoking sessions in Newton Aycliffe have already helped 126 people to stop.
With national No Smoking Day approaching on Wednesday, smoking cessation worker Annie Pluse is trying to persuade more people join the classes.
Mrs Pluse, herself a former smoker, said: "It is that time of the year when people feel pressured by others to stop smoking.
"Perhaps they are ready to stop, but need help, advice and support. If so, they could be like the other 126 people that have already benefited from this support."
The stop smoking programme is part of the Passport to Health Quit For Life scheme, which is available in Newton Aycliffe.
The free programme runs every Tuesday between 5.30pm and 7pm at the Pioneering Care Centre, in Newton Aycliffe.
For further information, contact Mrs Pluse at the Passport to Health Office in Spennymoor, on 0191-301 3813, or attend any session
