Young People

Smoking causes cancer and can kill you.  It uses up all of your money, makes your breath stink and your teeth rot – and that’s NOT sexy! Get help now to quit or don’t start in the first place!

If you or your mates smoke, now is the time to stop. The younger you start smoking, the more likely you are to die because of it as research shows that 50% of teenagers who carry on smoking will die in their 40’s or 50’s.

Don’t think that you have to do it alone or in secret, there’s loads of help available to help you quit.  For free confidential advice, contact the local stop smoking service (TASK) on 01706 708000. You can also speak to your school nurse or join the local peer support scheme where young people work together to help each other to stop smoking.
