Would you like to give up the cigarettes in 2023?
Almost 100 people die in Ireland from smoking-related diseases every week, public health doctors have warned, as the HSE launched its quit-smoking campaign for 2023.
Research shows if people quit for 28 days they are five times more likely to quit for good, and a range of tools are now provided to help them.

He gave some advice to those interested in giving up smoking this year and provided details of the various supports that are available.
