The Malta Song for Europe is endorsing the Change For Life Campaign which is aimed at providing free, professional help to those who would like to quit smoking or lose weight.

“We believe that the Malta Song for Europe is a platform that should be used to communicate messages of well-being to the public. The board of the Malta Song for Europe is therefore very pleased to endorse the Change For Life Campaign that focuses on living a healthy lifestyle,” said Robert Abela, chairman of the board of the Malta Song for Europe.

“The Change For Life Campaign deals with helping those people who would like to stop smoking or lose weight but cannot manage alone. Smoking and excess weight are two of the most important health issues that need to be addressed in order to live a healthy lifestyle. All our help is offered free of charge and is available in leading pharmacies throughout Malta and Gozo.

In addition the advice is given by doctors and trained consultants. We are pleased to be associated with the Malta Song for Europe and are sure that the popularity of this song festival will only help in getting our message across to people,” Jackie Mangion, the coordinator of the Change For Life Campaign, said.

The telephone numbers to call to receive advice free of charge are: 7901-0303 if you want to stop smoking and 7901-7272 if you want to lose weight.
