STOP SMOKING FOR STOPTOBER AND YOU’RE FIVE TIMES MORE LIKELY TO QUIT
FOR GOOD

Stoptober is back, we are encouraging smokers in Plymouth to join the 2.5 million others who have made a quit attempt with the campaign previously.

Over 5 million adults in England still smoke. Smoking causes 64,000 deaths a year,
making it the biggest cause of preventable illness and death. Quitting smoking is
one of the best things you can do for your health. That’s why this year’s Stoptober
campaign is encouraging smokers to join the thousands of others who are committing
to quitting for the month of October – quit smoking for 28 days and you’re five times
more likely to quit for good.

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.

Stoptober offers a range of free quitting tools including the NHS Quit Smoking app,
daily email support, Facebook support group and information about quitting smoking with
a vape, simply search ‘Stoptober’ for more information or visit the Better Health Quit Smoking Website.

Getting support from our smoking cessation service will give you the best chance of quitting smoking successfully. Simply call 01752 437177 or email [email protected] to book an appointment with one of our friendly NHS Health Improvement Practitioners.
