It is not easy giving up cigarettes, just ask any ex-smoker.

However those who succeed will also tell you it is all worth the effort, as will their families.

There has never been more support available to help smokers quit and there are a variety of options to suit individual circumstances.

The Glas-goals campaign is all about creating a healthier city, and is why Old Firm stars have backed our stub out one million cigarettes target.

It is never too late to give up the fags and with today being National No Smoking Day there is no time like now to make quitting cigarettes your own personal Glas-goal.

Still too many abuse cases

Campaigns to tackle domestic abuse are welcome as is any reduction in incidents.

However this is too serious and widespread a problem to place any importance on short term statistics.

The drive to prosecute perpetrators and end the suffering of thousands of women must always be a top priority.

While thousands in this city are still victims nothing can be considered a success.
