The Project

The New Generation project is run by Helen Lawson (Project Officer) and Deborah Dilworth (Project Assistant).  As part of Medway Stop Smoking Service’s ongoing efforts to help Medway become Smokefree, this project is specifically tailored to serving the needs of younger people in Medway.

About us and New Generation

New Generation exists to help Medway’s new generation to be Smokefree.  Everyone is affected by smoking – whether they know it or not!  

Thanks to lots of great feedback from younger people we’ve worked with, we believe we now have a good idea of what they want to see on this site;

• Information rather than being told not to smoke or being lectured
• The truth told in an easy to understand way
• Graphic illustrations on the dangers of smoking
• A range of options for quitting support
• Interactive elements   

Smoking choices made now can have a lifelong impact on health, wealth, happiness and (scarily!) the world.  We aim to provide a wide range of information about smoking issues so that there is something of interest here for everyone.  

Every person accessing our site will have the huge advantage of being able to make really informed choices about smoking – something that people in other parts of the world simply don’t have.  

Crucially, New Generation is about you.  We really want to hear about personal experiences, tips, stories and suggestions that will help to keep New Generation at the forefront of making Medway Smokefree for the benefit of all generations to come.  So please, communicate with us about what you see here, how you feel about smoking and what you think we should do to shape our New Generation.
