People in Brinnington who want to make 2010 the year in which they stop smoking are being offered support and advice by their local fitness centre.
Fitness instructors at the Target Life Lapwing Centre on Lapwing Lane have been trained to offer stop smoking support by the local NHS Stop Smoking Service.
The instructors are now able to deliver fitness and stop smoking advice to any visitors to the gym who require it. Vouchers for Nicotine Replacement Therapy materials are also available and these can be exchanged at Brinnington Co-operative pharmacy.
Stop smoking support is available at any time the centre is open but in anticipation of a lot of interest in January, dedicated evening drop-ins have also been set up. The drop-ins are being run on Monday evenings between 5.30pm and 8.00pm from 18th January to 1st February 2010.
