Latest 'Healthy Wednesday' advice from the Hywel Dda University Health Board -

This Healthy Wednesday – have you thought about the cost of smoking?
This Healthy Wednesday we are asking smokers to think about the cost of smoking – not just to their health but also to their pocket!
If you smoke just five cigarettes a day quitting for a year could save you over £600 and if you smoke 20 a day that figure rises to over £2,500!
You can find out much you can save by using the special calculator at www.stopsmokingwales.com/smoking-calculator
There are many reasons to quit and giving up smoking is the biggest single thing you can do to improve your health and you don’t need to do it alone!
There is a lot of help and support out there and you are four times more likely to succeed using an NHS stop smoking service than if you try to quit alone.
You can speak to a Health Information Adviser at NHS Direct Walesby calling 0845 46 47 or make an appointment with Stop Smoking Wales in your local area, call free on 0800 085 2219.
