It's National No Smoking Day!
Smoking is a subject the majority of us have encountered in our life, whether you actively smoke, know someone who smokes or has had health issues in relation to smoking, or perhaps affected by the harms of second hand smoke.
With new laws coming into effect recently and with the implementation of Smoke Free Grounds into our ‘Smoking Policy’ it’s important to reinforce key messages and also promote support that is out there for anyone who wishes to give up smoking. Find out more in this month’s Wellbeing Newsletter and please share all of the information and resources included within your workplace and beyond.
