If you’re thinking about quitting smoking but don’t think it’s possible for you, just read Karen from Clydebank’s story.

She’d never tried quitting once in 40 years of smoking, but one call to NHS GG&C Quit Your Way in April this year and she’s never looked back.

Fast forward to today and she’s almost 200 days smoke-free, has more money, better health and a smile she can be proud of.

Thinking about quitting? Call the Quit Your Way service on 0800 916 8858 or Click to Quit and find a Stop Smoking Service in your area here: https://www.nhsinform.scot/scotlands-service-directory/health-and-wellbeing-services?hb=s08000021&sortby=_distance&sortdir=Asc&svctype=26

Sore throats are very common and usually nothing to worry about. They normally get better within a week.

Most are caused by minor illnesses such as cold or flu and can be treated at home.

Things you can do to soothe a sore throat:
✅take ibuprofen or paracetamol – paracetamol is better for children and for people who can’t take ibuprofen (children under 16 should never take aspirin)

✅drink plenty of cool or warm fluids, and avoid very hot drinks eat cool, soft foods

✅avoid smoking and smoky places

✅suck lozenges, hard sweets, ice cubes or ice lollies – but don’t give young children anything small and hard to suck because of the risk of choking

✅gargle with a homemade mouthwash of warm, salty water (children should not try this)

Before your fireworks celebrations, it’s important to teach children what to do if their clothing catches on fire. Their instinct will be to run. But that won’t help.

Remember, STOP, DROP, and ROLL:

STOP what you are doing.
DROP to the ground and cover your face with your hands.
ROLL over and over to put out the flames.

You can encourage children to practice putting out pretend flames by making it into a fun game in the garden.
