GASP ideas for developing the 2010 No Smoking Day theme of ‘Breakfree’. Plus additional ideas for chains, chain gangs, hands, ‘We can Help’, and number ten appearing in day and year: 10/3/10.

Chain reactions of tobacco chemicals on the body, chains of support (one advisor helps 40 smokers whose children will benefit and the families will have up to £80,000 a year to spend on food etc), paper chains with messages of support. Breath CO monitor ideas. Make a chain related Break-Free-o-meter chart. Or promote the CO monitor with ‘Change Not Chains’
Hands Hands on help, palmistry, hand massage, henna hand tattoos, handprints with stop smoking messages and tips on. Also research shown as ‘Hands up those who found it hard to break free….?’ Breath CO chart shown as a Hands-o-meter chart with hand prints in green orange and red
WE can Help ‘We can help’ with maps showing where smokers can get help to stop locally or with photos of local people and places who offer help to break free from smoking holding up posters saying ‘We can help’.
