East Riding Smokefree Generation

Here in the East Riding we have seen some amazing results over recent years with the number of smokers reducing vastly. However, we are not one to rest on our laurels and know there is still a lot of work to do to support the remaining 30,000 people living in the East Riding to give up the habit for good.

This is why we are launching our Smokefree Generation Campaign; we want everyone to have the opportunity to successfully stop smoking with our free support, guidance and Nicotine Replacement Therapy. By doing so we could have a Smokefree East Riding by as soon as 2022!

We also know that children who live with and are exposed to smoking are much more likely to smoke themselves when they are older. If we work towards achieving Smokefree places within the East Riding including homes, parks and school entrances we are protecting them from the harms of second hand smoke whilst also protecting their future health,  by reducing the likelihood of them lighting up in future years.

We all have an opportunity to make smoking a thing of the past through brief discussions with loved ones, colleagues or our patients, creating awareness via our FREE campaign resources and most importantly by being that role model and giving up the habit for good.

Why not sign the pledge yourself to find out more about the campaign, receive regular updates and to show your support for making sure our next generation live longer, healthier, Smokefree lives!
