Held on the second Wednesday of March each year, No Smoking Day helps people across the UK who want to stop smoking. The activity encourages and helps smokers to give up, and publicizes(宣傳) the many sources of help offered to people.

And while many smokers believe that cigarettes help them to cope with stress (對(duì)付壓力), scientific research has shown that worry levels actually go down after giving up smoking.
