Women were twice as likely to stop smoking on No Smoking Day than men according to a new survey commissioned by the No Smoking Day charity in UK.
Latest results indicate that nearly 400,000 women compared to 200,000 men made a quit attempt on the UK’s biggest stop smoking awareness campaign, this year asking smokers ‘Is it your time to quit?’. Amit Aggarwal, chief executive officer of the No Smoking Day charity said: “Congratulations to all those people who managed to quit smoking on No Smoking Day. Stopping smoking is the single best thing you can do for your health.
“This year, we saw double the number of women quitting compared to men, possibly because they get more involved in health campaigns – but guys you can do it too!
