HEALTH promotion officers in Hartlepool are hoping that National No Smoking Day tomorrow will prompt local smokers to kick the habit.
Hartlepool Borough Council and Hartlepool Primary Care Trust (PCT) have teamed up to warn people of the dangers of smoking.
Jennifer Jones, of the PCT, has met smokers who work in the town's Civic Centre to encourage them to give up.
She said: "Although we hold regular no-smoking drop-in sessions at Greatham, this is the first time we have visited people at their workplace."
Drop-in sessions are held every Wednesday at Greatham Health and Information Centre, Greatham Village, between 2pm and 4pm.
For help with giving up smoking, call (01429) 872703.
