Somerset College in Taunton supports National No Smoking Day

Hundreds of students at Somerset College of Arts and Technology in Taunton, Somerset, gathered to get close to symbolising the number of people who die from smoking-related diseases in the County.

The actual number of deaths caused by smoking in Somerset in 2008 was 820.

To point out just how stark this fact is, smaller groups were created to represent deaths on the road and work-related accidents.

Working closely with NHS Stop Smoking advisers and The Smokefree Somerset Alliance, the photo was organised by Jon Peters, Health and Safety Officer with the college. Jon said: The college takes the health and well being of all its students seriously. We hope this photo event will encourage those students who might smoke or be tempted to take up the habit, to think about the risks and encourage them to adopt healthy lifestyles.
