Patient is Evelina Children’s Hospital poster girl

A nine-year-old patient at Evelina Children’s Hospital is urging visitors to stub it out after winning a poster competition to promote the hospital’s new anti-smoking policy.

Smoking will be banned across the entire premises at Evelina as well as every other Guy’s and St Thomas’ Trust site from June 19.

Brave Khadija Hussein said: “I don’t like smoking because it’s not good for your body. I want to help people to stop.”
