According to a latest revelation, smokers
located throughout the East Dunbartonshire
area have been suggested to quit smoking and save enough money for their summer
holiday. As an integral part of the Summer Saver campaign kick-started by
Smokeline, a ‘holiday savings calculator’ is made available online to help
smokers calculate the amount of money they can save by opting for quit smoking.
Smokeline undertook a new survey and found
almost one third of smokers stating that they won’t be opting for a summer holiday
this time due to the unavailability of sufficient cash. However, according to
sources, if all 12,100 smokers living in East Dunbartonshire quit smoking, they
will be able to put aside a whopping amount of £5.8million within a period of
three months. This amount will be sufficient for setting off on a grand summer
holiday.
Barrhead Travel is lending support to
Smokeline’s Summer Saver campaign by making Quit Guides and posters available
at its travel agencies.
Michael Matheson, the minister for public
health, states that stop smoking is one of the most excellent things for
boosting health. According to him, people fail to realize that they can save a
huge amount of extra money just by quitting smoking.
The minister states that now it is time
for people to start considering about their summer holidays or about visiting
new places and spending time with friends and family.
