Held on the second Wednesday of March each year, No Smoking Day helps people across the UK who want to stop smoking. The activity encourages and helps smokers to give up, and publicizes(宣傳) the many sources of help offered to people. Each year over a million smokers take part in the day, while about 40,000 actually give up smoking.
