3. Recognises many smokers want to quit and are motivated by health, their children, or the rising cost of smoking.
4. Highlights the free support available to anybody thinking about quitting through the Help Me Quit service.
5. Calls on Welsh health boards to continue to make specialist stop smoking services and proven quitting aids a priority and as accessible as possible.
