Stop smoking for Stoptober and quit for good
Smokers are five times more likely to successfully stop smoking forever with specialist help than going it alone. Since 2012, Stoptober has successfully helped 2.5 million smokers quit. And this year, you can be one of them.
Within days of stopping smoking you can taste, you have more money, and longer-term health risks reduce significantly.
We know that quitting can be hard, and we are here to help you along the way, with free stop-smoking support available to smokers in Lambeth.
Oscar Moreno, Tobacco Dependence Treatment Manager from Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital said: “With specialist support, smokers are three times more likely to quit. Stoptober is a great opportunity to join the challenge and quit smoking for good. We encourage Lambeth residents to contact Lambeth Stop Smoking Service and have a chat.”
