The UK holds a National No Smoking Day every year, with the twin intentions of educating smokers and their families about the dangers of smoking and passive smoking, and of helping smokers take the first steps in their battle to quit smoking. National No Smoking Day is organised by the No Smoking Day charity.
The latest statistics show that two thirds of smokers would like to quit smoking, but that they need help and support to achieve their aim. Smokers are addicted to nicotine, so quitting smoking is more difficult than just deciding to stop.
The theme for the 2011 campaign was chosen to be "Is it Time to Quit? We can help"
