CAN you last a week? That's the challenge set out by Stratford-on-Avon District Council and partners* as part of the Great No Smoking Day Challenge, Wednesday 12 March 2008.
The aim of the Challenge is to encourage smokers to just stay focused for a more manageable target - the first week. It is then hoped that many will go on to live a life free of tobacco.
If you are thinking about stopping smoking, want to set a quit date, have quit already or just want some information about smoking issues then come to the No Smoking Day event at Alcester Opportunities, The Pavilion, Conway Fields, Alcester, 10am - 7pm.

- Activities for children
