What is Stoptober?

Stoptober is a nationwide campaign that is designed to help people quit smoking in October. Research shows that if you can stop smoking for 28 days, you’re 5 times more likely to stay smoke-free.

Join thousands of others across the UK in taking the 28-day challenge and taking your first step towards a healthier life.

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


Stoptober is back, calling on smokers in England 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, 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.

More options...

Use the NHS Quit Smoking app to help you quit smoking and start breathing easier.

The app allows you to:

  • Track your progress
  • See how much you’re saving
  • Get daily support

 

If you can make it to 28 days smoke-free, you’re 5 times more likely to quit for good!
