No Smoking Day 9th March 2005

EDM number 814 in 2004-05, proposed by Andrew Lansley on 02/03/2005.

That this House congratulates No Smoking Day, the charity organising the event of the same name, which is taking place on 9th March, aimed at encouraging smokers to give up; notes that three-quarters of all smokers in the country wish to give up and that on previous No Smoking Days almost a million have tried to; recognises that the incidence of lung cancer and other diseases are highly affected by the prevalence of smoking; and believes that No Smoking Day should be commended wholeheartedly for promoting better health.

This motion has been signed by a total of 83 MPs.
