A TOBACCO control strategy helping people quit smoking has celebrated a successful first year.

North Yorkshire County Council’s project commissioned its Smokefreelife, for people who wish to quit smoking, 12 months ago.

The authority hopes to have a smoke-free generation by 2025.

Support to kick the habit is available, including group sessions, one-to-one support, telephone support, and medication.
