Stoptober is back and calling on smokers in England to join thousands of other smokers in trying to quit smoking for good.
You’re 3 times more likely to be successful if you get support from the borough’s stop smoking service, Living Well. Over a number of free appointments (either in person or over the phone), they can provide you with free stop smoking aids (like patches, gums, and e-cigarettes) and expert behavioural advice and support. This includes a quitting plan, information on how to manage cravings, and how best to use your quit aids.
Drop in to one of the free events below to speak to a Living Well adviser throughout Stoptober to learn more, or call 01706 392 210 to speak to a member of the team.
When you stop smoking good things start to happen – quitting will allow you to start moving better, breathe more easily and give you more money to spend. You can also search ‘Stoptober’ for more information on other support, or visit the Better Health Quit Smoking Website.
Quitting smoking is one of the best things you can do for your health, pocket, and family. Join the thousands of others who are committing to quitting for the month of October – quit smoking for 28 days and you’re 5 times more likely to quit for good.
