Stoptober 2023: Better Health – Quit Smoking

Stoptober 2023: Better Health – Quit Smoking
September 24, 2023

Stoptober is back this October with a new national campaign designed to encourage and support smokers to quit for good. While smoking rates have declined in recent years, over 5 million people in England still smoke and it remains the single biggest cause of preventable illness and death. Since its inception in 2012, Stoptober has successfully helped 2.5 million smokers to make a quit attempt and has become a well-recognised annual event in the public health calendar.

The theme for this year’s campaign is ‘When you stop smoking, good things start to happen’; please see the NHS resources that will help you on the  Better Health – Quit Smoking website.
