DON'T wait to quit – that’s the message from doctors and former smokers as a hard-hitting campaign launches across Greater Manchester.
The Don’t Wait campaign is underway today, Monday, ahead of the New Year when many people are thinking about quitting smoking and making resolutions to improve their health and wellbeing, after a difficult 2020.
It features a powerful plea from respiratory consultant, Dr Ruth Sharrock, who has spent the last nine months caring for patients with covid-19 and has seen the challenges colleagues and patients have faced in fighting it.
Dr Ruth Sharrock, who features in the campaign, said: “I want to help everyone look forward to a more positive 2021, where we all reflect on our health and wellbeing, and make some really positive changes.
