Smoking Survivors
“Smoking Survivors” is our current campaign first launched in 2023 to highlight the life-changing experiences from former smokers in the North East.
All our survivors have bravely shared their emotional stories highlighting the harm of smoking and the benefits of quitting to encourage people who smoke to put smoking behind them.
Tobacco Smoke is Poison
The Tobacco Smoke is Poison platform is a suite of health promotion resources for partners working in health and in local communities.
It is aimed at raising awareness about the risks of secondhand tobacco smoke for children and adults, with a particular focus on parents, families and carers.
These resources are free to download for partners working in the North East and North Cumbria and include training resources for staff.
Don’t Wait – resources for NHS
Don’t Wait is a campaign developed in 2020 which has been adapted for NHS settings, featuring an intervention from Dr Ruth Sharrock.
Smoking worsens winter pressures on the NHS. Tobacco smoking not only causes cancer, heart disease, stroke, COPD and dementia but during the winter when demand on the NHS is at its highest, smokers suffer more severely from respiratory viruses such as flu.
This toolkit is aimed at helping partners to raise the topic of smoking and support the work of the Tobacco Dependency Treatment Services within patient settings.
