No Smoking Day Wednesday 11th March 2026

Resources available
DHSC and Smokefree Action Coalition partners are working together to deliver a package of activity to mark this year’s No Smoking Day (NSD), which falls on Wednesday 11th March.
A toolkit of No Smoking Day resources is currently being developed to help partners raise awareness of the day and signpost to local support. The resources are intended to be used during the week prior to NSD, to build momentum and give people who smoke the opportunity to plan their quit. The resources will be positively framed and predominantly for use on social media, although a digital poster and digital screen design will also be available. We’re creating both editable and non-editable versions and will be in touch once they are available.
National campaign activity
DHSC is running a national quit smoking paid media campaign from 16th February to 5th April. The campaign theme is framed around ‘The power to quit smoking is in your hands’ and takes a creative approach to promoting freely available digital quit smoking support tools, namely the Personal Quit Plan and NHS Quit Smoking App.
Campaign resources will be available to download from the Campaign Resource Centre around the launch date.
