No Smoking Day 2024
No Smoking Day is an annual campaign that raises awareness of the health harms caused by smoking and encourages smokers to make a quit attempt.
This year marks the 40th anniversary of No Smoking Day, a celebration of the saved lives of countless smokers in London and across the UK. However, with roughly 1 million people still smoking in London, it also serves as a reminder of the support we still need to provide others to stop smoking.
This year, national No Smoking Day takes place on Wednesday 13th of March.
