![Anti-Smoking Clinic Five Day Plan to Sto]. Smoking The British Temperance Society in co-operation with the Health Department carried out a Five Day Anti-Smoking Clinic at the T6wn~ Hall, St. Albans from November 11th - 15th. This was the first type of this course to be run in England, though previous courses had been held in Cardiff and in Belfast. Fifty patients attended the whole of the five nights of the clinic. Preliminary results in these people showed that at the end of eight weeks, forty-eight per cent of them had stopped smoking and another forty-six per cent had reduced their smoking habit. This, however, is far too early to say what the eventual smoking habit of these people will be and they are to be followed up at six months and one year from the end of the clinic by the Health Department.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b30124608_0066.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
