STOPTOBER – Quit smoking with free local support
Thinking about quitting smoking? Great, that’s your first win!
It’s never too late to start! You’ve got this!
Stopping smoking brings immediate and long-term health, mental, and financial benefits, including improved circulation and lung function within weeks, a halving of heart attack risk in one year, and a significantly reduced risk of lung cancer and other serious diseases within a decade. You will also experience improved skin and senses, a stronger immune system, and better mental health, with less stress and anxiety in the long term.
Swap to a Vape
If you are a smoker, aged 18 or over, and live/work/study in Warwickshire or are registered with a Warwickshire GP, you’re eligible for a free Vape Quit Kit and 12 weeks of free one-to-one support. This support is part of the government’s national Swap to Stop smoking campaign. Click this link for more information.
E-cigarettes/vapes are an effective aid for stopping smoking, especially when combined with behavioural support. While not risk-free, vaping is significantly safer than smoking.
Stop smoking in pregnancy
Stopping smoking can be a challenge, but when a new baby is on the way, quitting smoking is one of the best things you can do as a family to give your baby a heathy start in life. There are specialist advisors trained to support pregnant individuals and their families through their journey to stop smoking.
