Quit

QUIT is the UK charity that helps smokers to stop and young people to never start. We have a diverse range of services including helplines and community programmes in 8 different languages. QUIT offers flexible expertise to individuals, health professionals, teachers and corporates.

Our aim is to significantly reduce unnecessary suffering and death from smoking related diseases, and aim towards a smoke free UK future; to provide practical help, advice and support by trained counsellors to all smokers who want to stop.

ASH

Action on Smoking and Health (ASH) was established in 1971 (20 January) by the Royal College of Physicians. It is a campaigning public health charity that works to eliminate the harm caused by tobacco. We do not attack smokers or condemn smoking. The organisation is headed by the Chief Executive, Deborah Arnott, and governed by a Board of Trustees. The Duke of Gloucester is our patron.

While we aim to be innovative and agenda setting in our work, our policies are always evidence based and follow a dual approach:

• Information and networking: To develop opinion and awareness about the “tobacco epidemic”
• Advocacy and campaigning: To press for policy measures that will reduce the burden of addiction, disease and premature death attributable to tobacco.


No Smoking Day

The No Smoking Day campaign is organised by the No Smoking Day charity. In 2011 the No Smoking Day charity merged with the British Heart Foundation in order to secure the future of the campaign and to build on its long and successful history.

The No Smoking Day campaign helps smokers who want to quit by creating a supportive environment for them, and by highlighting the many sources of help and advice available. The Day remains the UK's foremost public health event, bringing together professionals who share an interest in promoting health, generating significant media coverage, and providing an annual focus for the three in every four smokers who want to stop.

Every year over a million smokers will use No Smoking Day to try to quit.



SmokeFree

NHS Smokefree is the national NHS campaign providing motivation, information and support for smokers who want to quit.

With NHS help you’re up to four times more likely to quit than if you go it alone. NHS trained advisers are here to help and can give you expert advice on Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) products and other medications such as Zyban (bupropion) and Champix (varenicline) that can help you to manage your cravings.



No Tobacco

Smokefree America's mission is to motivate youth to stay tobacco-free, and to empower smokers to quit. The goals of the No Tobacco foundation are:

• To establish in-house programs to fight tobacco use at the local, regional and national levels.
• To prevent youth smoking through our websites and school-based educational programs.
• To help empower those suffering from tobacco addiction to quit successfully, through our websites and other educational venues.
• To enact peer teaching programs, empowering youth to defend themselves against the onslaught of advertising and peer pressure.
• To implement programs to remind physicians to take a proactive role with their smoking patients, intervening and asking them to quit.


ExSmokers

When a smoker becomes an ex-smoker he or she achieves something remarkable. The personal benefits are numerous: better health, better looks, more money and a boost in self-confidence. The effect on society (lower health care costs, stronger economy, etc.) is also huge. Therefore, this campaign is a celebration of the ex-smoker, as a proud and unstoppable role model for those who have yet to quit.
