A SMOKING service is trying to ensure that hundreds of New Year's resolutions are kept this year.
Fresh Focus is a Bolton-based NHS smoking cessation service, operating from the town centre, offering free help to people wanting to start the New Year smoke-free.
The NHS group has experts to guide people through quitting. Last year, more than half the people who completed the Fresh Focus course managed to stop smoking.
Currently 30 per cent of people in the North-west are smokers, but 54 per cent of those are considering giving up in the New Year.
Telephone the NHS Stop Smoking Helpline on 0800 1690169 between 7am and 11pm. Fresh Focus can be contacted on 01204 360008.
But many smokers, particularly men, go about giving up the wrong way.
