Information & Advice
Its a new year so why not have a new you? Join our 'new you' bloggers and ditch those horrible habits for 2010.
Published 31/12/2009
Our bloggers have took up the task of making a fresh start. You can follow them as they tried to quit smoking. Although they have finished their challenge we thought their inspiration and the advice from our experts would help you on your plight to quit for good.
Every few days our bloggers updated us with what worked for them, what didn't and what had them flying to the keyboard in joy/rage.
Take up the challenge yourself and find a 'new you' this year.

We didn't want to leave our bloggers with no help at all, so we asked two experts to give them – and you – some helpful advice and lots of encouragement as they tried to kick the smoking habit.
