Today we were at Golden Square Shopping Centre in Warrington, what a fantastic turn out!
Warrington Borough Councillor Mike Biggin and some of the helpful people from NHS Warrington’s Stop Smoking Service came by to lend a hand. Sheila and Linda from Warrington Smokefree Families also stopped by to help out and tell people all about their new scheme. They are asking people to pledge to make their homes smokefree and in return not only will people protect their family but also receive a free information pack- sounds rad!
For help and support in making a home smokefree make sure to check out the support section area on http://www.take7stepsout.co.uk/
I was so excited when Rugby League Challenge Cup winner Wolfie from Warrington wolves stopped by to support the campaign. Everyone wanted their photos taken with us- we were the Kylie and Jason of Warrington- I felt like a superstar!
My favourite part of the day though had to be when glamorous gran Joy, stopped by for a chat. Joy hadn’t heard about Take 7 Steps Out until her grandkids Leigha and Jake who had seen the advert asked their gran to start smoking outside. Joy now Takes 7 Steps Out before she lights up and even has a chair 7 steps away from the back door, what a beaut idea!
Wow what an end to a bonzer summer, we’ve met so many new friends along the way, been to heaps of cool places and informed tonnes of blokes and sheilas in the North West about the dangers secondhand smoke has on children.
Remember folks- if you do smoke, protect the little ones and Take 7 Steps Out!

I've just discovered your blog and I love it.
ReplyDeleteIt's always good to discover another peice of righteous, nannying, anti smoking rubbish.
Take seven steps out? What garbage.
How about for your next post, providing some scientific data that backs up any of what you're saying?
For a start, lets see some proof that second hand smoke causes cot death, as stated in the Smokefree Northwest site.
No, thats too difficult for a first task. How about just proving that second hand smoke causes any deaths. How many death certificates have recorded SHS as a cause or contributary fator in death, in the world, ever?
I look forward to reading your future posts.
Yes this is the same brainwashed Righteous crap being pedalled in the name of tobbacco control.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes it's all about control. I mean where are your facts about passive smoking? Well, here you are, I'll give you one study out of many. And it is fully verifiable if you can bother to look for it.
Boffetta et al (1998) 508 subjects: RR = 1.11 (null)
The World Health Organisation commissioned the International Agency for Research on Cancer to carry out this European study of 650 never-smoking lung cancer patients, of whom 508 were married women. When compared against a control group of 1,008 healthy women, no statistically significant link was found between a husband’s
smoking habits and lung cancer: RR = 1.11 (0.88-1.39). The only statistically significant
finding in the paper was an apparent protective effect from exposure to secondhand smoke during childhood of 0.77 (0.61-0.98).
