#Stoptober is back!

Stop smoking for Stoptober and you’re 5 times more likely to quit for good

#Stoptober is back!

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, information about quitting smoking with a vape and expert support from local stop smoking services. Simply search ‘Stoptober’ for more information or visit the Better Health Quit Smoking Website.

Our local stop smoking service is: www.smokefreelifeberkshire.com

For support call 0800 622 6360 or text QUIT to 66777

Over the coming weeks look out for more information on our Facebook page.
