The squad meetings will be hosted at Tynecastle to allow words of encouragement from a Hearts Legend midway through the course.

Meetings will run on a Monday night at 6.15 pm for 12 weeks, starting on the 26^th September in the Willie Bauld Premier Suite. (Free parking in car park outside Ticket Centre.)

You have until the end of October to book your place at the meetings and this can be done by calling the Stop Smoking Squad on 0131 672 9533.

Did you know that a 20-a-day Jambo would save enough to buy a Platinum Season Ticket after three months of stopping?

Did you know that smoking is the number one cause of heart disease - so stopping is a guaranteed victory for Hearts!

Hearts Legend Jimmy Sandison (pictured above giving his support to the project) says: "I'm really pleased to support the fans in this after all the support they've given me. Just like in football, the key to success is teamwork, and it has been shown that people are four times more likely to stop smoking when they are in an NHS group".
