Stopping smoking is one of the best things you’ll ever do for your health and it’s never too late to quit.
The Council’s Livewell service is encouraging patients to join the Stoptober challenge. The challenge encourages people to quit smoking for the month of October and beyond. It is based on research that shows that if you quit for 28-days, you are five times more likely to stay smoke free for good. And you’re three times more likely to quit using a specialist service like Livewell than by using will power alone.
The official Stoptober challenge begins on Tuesday 1 October and people can choose to start their quit up until the end of October as part of the campaign.
However, smokers can quit any time with the help of Livewell, who offer 12 months of free support and stop smoking treatments to Derby residents.
