Congratulations to Janette Cruikshank, became the first person within East Lothian to register her home as smokefree home initiative that was launched on No Smoking day on 12th March 2008. Janette & her husband, Brian, who both smoke, have pledged to only smoke outside their home.

Our sons have been going on at us for some time to stop. They hate the smell of smoke’ said Mrs Cruikshank

Council Health spokesman Roger Knox applauded the Cruikshank’s decision:
’It’s not just a heath issue – smoking is one of the main causes of fire in the home’

“Group support made a difference just knowing you were meeting people in the same situation, being a part of the group is a help everytime you go to lift a fag, it makes you think about letting everyone else down. It’s nice to share your hard times/failures and also your proud moments and your success with people who understand how important they are.”

“The support I have received within this group has helped me through stopping smoking even days after the group if I felt I needed to have a cigarette something that someone had said would come into my mind. I’m proud of how far I’ve come and believe that I wouldn’t have managed had it not been for the support of this group.”
