Giving up smoking is one of the best things you can do for yourself, your health, your looks, your finances and your relationships - and during Covid-19 it's more vital than ever to quit. Gerry McElwee, head of cancer prevention, Cancer Focus NI, said: "During the coronavirus pandemic we've all realised just how important our health is. In addition, there's evidence that smokers are more susceptible to Coronavirus and to serious illness from Covid-19. "No Smoking Month in March is a perfect opportunity to consider giving up smoking, not only to reduce your risk of contracting Covid-19, to reduce the risk of severe disease associated with the infection and to reduce the risk of cancer and heart disease."
