Struggling to kick the habit? Our friends at Lloyds Online Doctor are here to help...
It is easily one of the most harmful things you can do to health but over 20 per cent of the Irish population are still regular smokers. And the age bracket with the highest rate of smokers are those 18-24, with the figure for people in that group at close to 30 per cent.
The smoking ban has reduced the numbers smoking in Ireland significantly, but there are still lots of hopeless addicts out there.
The best way to begin to get off the smokes is to talk to a professional so that is why we have Lloyds Online Doctor to answer your quitting smoking queries.
Submit your questions anonymously and confidentially below. We will be sure to pass them onto Lloyds Online Doctor who will answer your questions on the site on Friday, October 3.
Remember, it is strictly confidential, but do give us your initials (which you can of course make up) and your age so we can address your question in the reply - and don’t forget to follow @LloydsOnlineDoc.
