Sector 3 will be talking to people about Brief Intervention for Smoking on Saturday 8th May between 10am and 1pm.  If you are at the Metro, why not drop in and see what's going on - or even better, get some info for someone who's thinking of quitting smoking.  Help is here! 

Smoking is Gateshead's biggest health issue, affecting 40,485 people.  This contributes massively to poverty in the region and promotes health inequalities.  In Gateshead alone, approx. 11,500 people buy from the illicit tobacco trade, paying organised crime £10.5 million.  The illicit tobacco trade is also the largest supplier of cigarettes to children.
