The Ulster Cancer Foundation (UCF) are encouraging all 14-18 year olds across Northern Ireland to ‘Just be Smokefree’ during the month of October. By doing so they will improve their health, show their support for a smokefree environment and be in with a chance to win a fantastic trip to Europe and a number of other top prizes.
Cathy McAleenan, Project Co-ordinator, Ulster Cancer Foundation said, “This exciting European project is being co-ordinated across 10 countries by UCF for a 5th successful year. UCF is calling all young people non-smokers, occasional smokers and daily smokers to take up the challenge and ‘Just be Smokefree’ for one month from 1st Oct - 31st Oct 2004.
