A hypnotherapist from Harpenden is offering a free session and raising sponsorship for the British Heart Foundation as part of his challenge to help people stop smoking.

As well as the offer of a free hypnosis session, Richard Walker took to the Co-op in Harpenden on Saturday, March 7, to blow up balloons for children and talk to quitters past and new.

Mr Walker said: "We understand that the majority of smokers want to stop smoking, but many find the task too daunting.

"With support, smokers are more likely to succeed in their quit attempt. That is why we got together to offer information on free hypnosis."

Entry is still open to qualify for Mr Walker’s offer, but will close very soon.
