Understanding the Recession Relapser: The Importance of Strong Services and Strong Support

Chair: Professor Robert West, Professor of Health Psychology and Director of Tobacco Studies, Cancer Research UK Health Behaviour Research Centre, Department of Epidemiology and Public Health, University College London, UK, Jennifer Percival, Tobacco Policy Advisor, Royal College of Nursing, UK and Hilary Wareing, Tobacco Control Collaborating Centre, Warwick, UK

• Could recession stress be discouraging smokers from giving up?
• Are these worries increasing the likelihood of relapse during a quit attempt?
• Or, could money concerns be motivating some smokers to cut down or stop?

Come along and be the first to hear the results of new research investigating trends in tobacco use during a recession. A panel of UK experts will be discussing these and other highly relevant questions, and examining how stop smoking advisors and services can best prepare for and protect against the impact of the economic downturn.
