Help is on the way for smokers in the Marlborough area wanting to kick the habit.

NHS Wiltshire will be running a walk-in Stop Smoking Clinic every Wednesday between noon and 2pm in the council chamber on the ground floor of Marlborough Town Hall where they will be seen by a specialist advisor.

It is estimated that almost 22 per cent of the Wiltshire population, roughly 75,000 people, still smoke.
