Smoking figures at record low
According to latest figures released by Roy Castle FagEnds, fewer people are smoking in Liverpool than ever before.Almost five thousand people have quit smoking in the last year thanks to the smoking cessation service which is funded by Liverpool Primary Care Trust (PCT) and almost 23,000 have quit in the past five years.
Miriam Bell of FagEnds said: “Even if you have smoked for a long time it is never too late to give up and the health benefits are enormous. Two weeks after quitting, circulation will begin to improve and within five years the risk of having a heart attack will halve.”
