There has never been a better time to quit smoking. And there has never been more support to help you quit. The idea behind Stoptober is that if you can stop smoking for 28 days, you are five times more likely to stop for good.
We know that smoking increases your risks of suffering with lung cancer, chronic lung disease (COPD), heart disease, stroke , and increases your risk of severe disease or death from COVID-19. It also hammers your wallet.
In order to help you, the NHS website has plenty of resources to help at www.nhs.uk/oneyou/for-your-body/quit-smoking/
In addition there is an NHS app which you may find useful, and an appointment can also be booked at the surgery with our Nurse - see below…
