Smokers to get free help kicking habit in mass quit drive

FREE nicotine replacement products are being offered to smokers across north east Essex.

Part of the stop smoking drive 'Stoptober', it is the first mass quit attempt launched by the Department of Health, which starts next month.

The offer is being led by Anglian Community Enterprise, which runs the Colchester and Tendring NHS Stop Smoking Service.

The initiative takes smokers through a detailed step-by-step programme to help them quit.

Co-ordinator Sue White said: “We are fully behind this excellent initiative and to give local people the best possible chance of success, we are offering people a ten-week course of nicotine replacement products.”

To find out where the quit kits are available from, call 0800 7312656.

Smoking,
is treated as a luxury by some,
simply hated by others.

I hate smoking, hate smokers,
hate the smelly ash trays,
hate the discarded ciggarette butts on the street.


but then,
I smoked "once upon a time"

gave up back in mid `80`s thankfully.

Credit where credits due,
IF your brave enough, to go and find out "IF" you can get help in quiting a disgusting habit,
one that kills you,
one that keeps you poor,
one that makes you smell like an ashtray,
then my friends, may god give you the strength and will power to see it through.

Why not try,
It can only kill you if you dont stop...

proud of you if you try though.

Good luck..

If everyone gave up smoking where would the government get the lost taxes? Many people would be thrown out of work and there would then be more job seekers and more money paid out in benefits.

Smoking is a necessary evil in this country if we want the taxes. I don't smoke and hate the smell of smoke but it is the right of anyone to smoke if they so wish just as it is the right of anyone not to smoke and not allow smokers into their homes and smoke.

Quite right it’s our right not to smoke, I am sick and tired of breathing in others smoke especially them who smoke by shop doorways, smoking should be banned in the street as well. If the sad’os want to smoke do it in your own home.

then why comment on things you quite clearly, by your own admission,
you just dont understand.

maybe I`m wrong here,
but were you referencing plain smoking,
or the smoking of drugs,
so much liked by a certain quarter in these fine comments pages.

Bless you shedless fred,
a true virtue and star to us all I think.

" Back to post I never have smoked ether, don't take non prescription drugs ether don't drink ether.all dirty anti social habits just like bulling people.”

I dont like bullies either, but then,
Internet bullies take on differing personas,
even pretending to be quite harmless,
"on the outside"

Its a funny old world it seems,
we have poor old Grinch,
one sad bi person who blames EVERYONE else for his self inflicted problems with others.
Bi Polar is not just an "awkward" word,
its an awkward Illness that someone I row with on these comments sections.

Grinch will understand!

To sit in his/her own stupour of despare, yet throw accusations at just about everyone else is typical of the Illness.
(not actually accusing "anyone" here)
LOL,
but,
poor old Grinch has become one of Tendrings lost souls.

Now, as Grinch has admitted to his travels to bore the pants of those in BoS,
(god help the readers of burnham on seas local website)
But I have noticed over the last 12 months, the locals at burnham HAVE got one or two "named" posters ejected from there website also.
One such poster threw very very sinular threats as to those thrown at myself, with much much more Included just to "make himself look big.
It only resulted in just making himself look a comple fool when fellow readers realised just what was going on.
Now, we have shedless fred making actuall threats of harrasement, causing fear of violence, and making gestures as to cause fear of personal safety to little `ol me,
ALL within the comments sections in this Gazette.
A true need for further legal action!

before I finish my lambasting of a demented Idiot locally known as Grinch,
DONT park on the sands grinch,
as knowing your Inability to read and understand the rules of anything,
your car will get "washed" by the tide.

If only!!!!

(still got your vids from Brooky :)..)
