Flint launches Lloydspharmacy smoking cessation campaign

Health minister Caroline Flint launched Lloydspharmacy's smoking cessation campaign in London last week ahead of the smoking ban in England, which starts on 1 July 2007.

Lloydspharmacy is offering a “stop now” service and a “cut down and quit service”, which include free weekly consultations where carbon monoxide readings are taken and advice is given on managing withdrawal symptoms.

The company is donating £1 to the Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation throughout June and July for each customer making a pledge to give up smoking.
