FASHION HEALTH & BEAUTY

Stop smoking
and cash in!
Each year the Isle of Wight NHS
Stop Smoking Service helps
hundreds of smokers to quit
smoking and begin a new healthier
lifestyle.
This year No Smoking Day is on
March 14 and IW NHS invite you
to join their service and 'swap fags
for swag'.
Why swag? Because the focus
groups held by the British heart
Foundation say the cost of smoking
is one of the main drivers for
quitting. Health and family are also
high on the list, but the cost is what
gives people the final push.
This year's No Smoking Day
campaign is all about what smokers
will gain when they quit - as well as
improved health, their wallets will
also get heavier, and they can spend
the extra cash on whatever they like;
whether it's a fun day out for all the
family, or a holiday in that place
they've always wanted to go.
The financial benefits soon add

up. After one day you save £7, equal
to two movie rentals, a new lipstick
or download a new album. After one
week you save £49, equal to a family
cinema trip, a pair of shoes or a
meal out for two.
After one month you save £210,
equal to a shopping spree, Premier
League football tickets or a weekend
break. After three months you save
£630, equal to a designer handbag, a
new laptop, or the latest flat screen
television.
After six months you save £1,260,
equal to a leather suite, a home
cinema or a top range bicycle. And
after one year you save £2,555,
equal to a new kitchen, designer
jewellery or the holiday of a
lifetime.
So take the first step to swapping
those fags for swag by contacting
the service on 554545 or visit
our website www.islandquit.co.uk
and swagger your way towards a
healthier, wealthier lifestyle.
