MORE than 6,000 people have been helped to stop smoking in the last year by NHS Hertfordshire.

Liz Fisher from Hertfordshire Stop Smoking Service said: “We are absolutely thrilled that thousands of people in Hertfordshire have done the best possible thing for their health and that’s to quit smoking.

“There is so much free help on offer near to where you live or work and we can also help you to quit online using our website.

“Our advisers have helped hundreds of people to quit and would be delighted to help you too.”
