Stoptober is back and this year it is extra special as the campaign celebrates its 10-year anniversary – and helping over 2 million people to make a quit attempt.

Studies show that if you make it to just 28 days smoke-free you are five times more likely to stay a non-smoker and thousands of smokers are expected to take up the challenge to stub out the habit this October.

Quitting smoking is one of the best things you will ever do for your health and the benefits start immediately…

Some of these include:

• More energy to do the things you love, like dancing ¿
• More money in the bank - you could around £36 per week ¿
• Better lung health - you will notice you can breathe easier ¿

Giving up for good can feel like a big hurdle but there are lots of ways to make it easier and there is support available to help you find a way that works for you.

So stop smoking this Stoptober and start doing much more!
