More than 100 people will die as a result of smoking this week, according to the HSE.

The HSE issued the warning on National No Smoking Day, which people traditionally use to quit the habit.

The three top tips on how to stop smoking for good according to the health service's Quit team are:

"Think of the reasons why you want to quit and write them down to motivate you."

  • "Set a date to quit and stick to it."
