Let’s quit smoking together this Stoptober

Stoptober is back this October, encouraging smokers across the country to make a quit attempt together. Quitting smoking remains one of the most effective ways to improve your health, reduce your risk of serious illness and save money. In fact, if you smoke 20 cigarettes a day, quitting could save you over £5000 a year!

Many people try to stop smoking without support, but evidence shows that getting help significantly improves your chances of success. Whether this is your first quit attempt or you’ve tried before, there is a range of free support available in Lambeth to help you become smokefree.

We’ve got your back

Residents and people working in Lambeth can access a wide range of free stop smoking support. Support options include one-to-one coaching, nicotine replacement products, vaping starter kits where appropriate, specialist advice, digital tools and community-based programmes.

Whatever your reason for quitting, support is available to help you find the approach that works best for you.
