Thousands of Cumbrians quit smoking
8:10pm Wednesday 27th August 2008
NEARLY 2,300 cumbrians stubbed out cigarettes with help from the NHS last year.
While 2,270 managed to quit, 3,566 set a stop date.
Around two-thirds of people who sought help from the NHS in Cumbria gave up the habit – one of the highest figures in the North West and better than the 53 per cent national average.
