Fewer and fewer young people are now smoking, and for a good reason!

By quitting Smoking, your skin, breath, and sex life will improve. Plus it will make you more attractive to the opposite sex, and of course let you live longer.
Smoking costs lots of money – if you smoked ten fags a day, you could have saved over £80 every month; think of what you could get with the extra cash in your pocket!

The law has changed and you now have to be aged 18 years or over in order to buy any tobacco products, and will be asked for ID to prove your age.

Before you spark up, have a think about what it is you’re doing. Remember, that most young people don’t smoke.

If you do smoke already, there are plenty of reasons to give up, and there’s plenty of support available to you to help you quit. Portsmouth has its very own young persons service to help you when you are ready to quit, offering free nicotine replacement and support.
