A LIFE WITHOUT SMOKING.

Children's television presenter and former Miss Northern Ireland, Zoe Salmon, is supporting the smoking cessation campaign by Action Cancer and Gordons Chemists which aims to highlight skin damage from smoking.

Zoe, a patron of our charity, generously allowed her image to be manipulated to show how she might have looked now had she been smoking since the age of 15.

ROLL YOUR MOUSE OVER THE PICTURE OF ZOE SALMON ON THE RIGHT TO FIND OUT HOW SHE MIGHT HAVE LOOKED HAD SHE SMOKED FROM THE AGE OF 15!!!

YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
About 120,000 people in the UK try to give up smoking every day. We know the journey is tough but you are not alone. The internet provides many resources and support forums for people trying to give up (some of which are in our signposting section below). Action Cancer's smoking cessation programmes are tailored to either adult or youth settings. They are run by trained smoking cessation counsellors who provide information and advice on quitting as well as exploring reasons for smoking and wanting to quit. These are available as either group or one to one sessions. You can contact the health promotion team for further information or to book a smoking cessation programme by phoning 028 9080 3344 or e-mailing cmorrow@actioncancer.org >>Read personal stories on how other people gave up smoking or add your own story. >>Join the Action Cancer "SmokeFree forum" here	Download our smoking cessation leaflet with its 28 day guide to help you through that crucial first month giving up.
