Berkshire's Stop Smoking Programme
Government policy and funding brings added value to local services. Berkshire's programmes are the local delivery of the Government’s policy to reduce the levels of smoking. Nationally 120,000 smoking related deaths occur each year.
In Berkshire we intend to reduce the risk that causes preventable diseases caused through smoking.
