TAKE PART IN STOPTOBER

Smoking attacks the lungs and makes it harder to breathe. So, if this year has been the wake-up call you needed to quit, then why not take part in the 28-day Stoptober challenge?

Not only is quitting the single best thing you can do for your health, but if you smoke 10-a-day then you’ll save around £165 a month  (almost £2,000 a year!), as well as improve your mood and help relieve stress, anxiety and depression.

Stoptober starts each year on 1 October and encourages the nation to give quitting a go, based on evidence that shows after 28 days smokefree, you’re five times more likely to quit for good. Now in its ninth year, Stoptober has supported almost 2 million people to quit smoking for good.
