SMOKERS wanting to kick the habit are being offered help by a health initiative.

Darlington Primary Care Trust's (PCT) stop smoking service is to hold weekly sessions outside office hours at the town's walk-in medical centre, Dr Piper House.

The first will be held on Monday, March 7, during National No Smoking Week. Two specialist advisors will hold the clinic, from 6pm to 7pm, at the King Street centre.

Stop smoking service advisor, Darcy Brown, said: "We will offer tailored advice to smokers who want to quit and advise on which products are available to help them.

"They can obtain these on prescription which will save them money"
