Keep going this Stoptober!

Date Added: 17/10/2022

It's the halfway point of Stoptober.

Even if you haven't gone completely smoke-free, it's still a good time to keep trying or start.

Quitting smoking has so many benefits and no drawbacks, and we know you’ve got what it takes to quit this Stoptober.

Did you know, if you can make it to the 28-day mark without smoking, you are five times more likely to stay smoke-free for good.

How to help others, without nagging

Be a good listener. Sometimes it’s nice to be able to talk about your difficulties without the feeling of judgement. Sometimes your mate will need uplifting, and enthusiasm. Show support by being there if they need you.
