TWO weeks ago, on March 12, more than a million UK smokers will have tried to stop smoking.
I would like to say a big thank you and well done to all of them, and to the thousands of experts who are helping them through the first tricky weeks.
Most of all, I'd like to say to keep going -- you will be past the worst of it now and well on your way to a smoke-free future.
I hope that everyone who stopped on "No Smoking Day" is seeing the benefits already -- extra cash, easier breathing, and a growing feeling of freedom as the nicotine addiction fades.
It's an amazing achievement.
So even if no one else celebrates with you, the "No Smoking Day" team is raising a glass to toast your success.
If anyone is struggling, they can still check out sources of NHS and other help on www.nosmokingday.org.uk
