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.
