West Australian smokers urged to butt out Perth Glory players and the Department of Health's Quit team will join forces today to urge West Australian smokers to quit, and help bring the number of quitters to 500,000.
Quit WA spokesperson Gino Marinucci said the single best thing anyone could do for their health was to give up smoking.
Taking part in Quit Day activities in the Perth Hay Street Mall, Mr Marinucci appealed to smokers to quit not only for their own health benefit, but to also benefit the health system and the community.
"This represents an enormous personal cost to individuals and their families, costs that cannot be calculated, and pain and suffering that cannot be measured.

· Tobacco control aims to help adults to quit smoking and deter children from starting.
Only adult cessation can substantially reduce tobacco deaths over the next 25 years (as in the UK, where cigarette sales and tobacco deaths in middle age almost halved over the past 25 years).
· An increase in the price of cigarettes prompts people to quit smoking or reduce consumption and deters others from starting.
Other non-price measures -- such as comprehensive bans on advertising and promotion, consumer information, prominent warning labels, and clean air restrictions -- are also effective.
· Widely increased use of nicotine replacement therapies (NRT) could persuade an additional 6 million smokers to quit and avert 1 million deaths.

Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) acts by replacing some of the nicotine obtained from tobacco, while avoiding the harmful components of tobacco smoke.
NRT generally doubles smoking cessation rates compared to placebo, and evidence-based clinical guidelines recommend that to-bacco-dependent smokers use NRT to aid smoking cessation.
Tobacco dependence is a recognized disease, listed in the World Health Organization International Classification of Disease (WHO 1992).
Rationale for using nicotine replacement therapy The aim of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) is to provide sufficient amounts of nicotine to relieve the tobacco withdrawal symptoms and craving associated with smoking cessation, thereby allowing users to break their dependence on tobacco.

One in three smokers dies early because of his or her smoking.
At one time smoking seemed "cool," but it has become less and less desirable.
What's more, research shows that secondhand smoke, the smoke from other people's cigarettes, can harm the health of nonsmokers.
This should help smokers make the move to quit and keep everyone's lungs healthier.
For example, walking is a great way to reduce the stress of quitting.
These nicotine patches, such as Nicotrol®, are now available over the counter and work best when used along with a behavior change program like Freedom From Smoking® from the American Lung Association.

Father's Day is a day to celebrate dads for who they are and all of the wonderful things they do.
It is also a great time for dads to remember the important role they play in influencing the choices their kids make regarding tobacco use.
Dads who smoke can celebrate Father's Day by quitting, and all dads, whether or not they smoke, can celebrate Father's Day by taking a number of effective actions to protect their kids from becoming another one of the tobacco industry's addicted customers and victims.

Despite the smoking prevention campaigns waged by the health and education sectors, youth, especially young girls, are smoking tobacco in greater numbers.
Cigarette companies' sponsorship of popular sports and cultural activities, advertising in major magazines, the examples set by media personalities or family members as well as the availability of cigarettes to underage smokers, all contribute to teens' attraction to smoking.
Marijuana is not seen by youth as very different from tobacco.
Their reasons for smoking pot are very similar to those for smoking cigarettes: peer pressure, the desire to relax from stress and wanting to identify with popular media symbols.

Cigarette smoking is responsible every year for approximately 130,000 cancer deaths, 170,000 heart disease deaths and 50,000 lung disease deaths, according to the American Lung Association.
For some people, nicotine can be as addictive as heroin or cocaine, and it may take multiple attempts before they can quit effectively.
Prior to the quit date, the National Cancer Institute suggests that smokers switch to a brand of "light" cigarettes to acclimate their bodies to lower levels of nicotine.
Several medications are available to assist you suppress the urge to smoke, and when used properly, they will increase your chances of quitting for good.

Nancy, a middle aged woman finds support in her decision to radically change her lifestyle and manage her deteriorating physical and mental health.
She had read an advertisement for a Smoking Cessation Group for Low Income Women and was hoping that this group could help her make this important lifestyle change.
In Nancy's words, "When my heart specialist in London put me on a waiting list for cardiac surgery to replace my defective aortic valve, I was smoking about a pack a day.
"The Smoking Cessation Group was okay because of the information and support it provided but the real benefit to me was my relationship with the staff," stated Nancy during an evaluation of the program.
