This time you CAN quit smoking and we CAN help!

Even if you have tried to quit smoking before, this time you really can quit and our Living Well Stop Smoking Service is available to help you every step of the way.

Most people know that smoking is harmful, but many don’t realise that quitting is the single best thing you can do to improve your health. And it’s not just your health that benefits, your finances will get a boost too! With the rising cost of living, can you afford not to quit?

Why trying again matters

Many smokers want to quit, and most have tried before, but previous attempts aren’t failures they’re stepping stones. Each time you try to quit, you learn what works and what doesn’t. That means you’re already closer to success than you think – this time can be different!

Quitting is not easy but with the right support, you CAN do it!

Why quitting matters

Smoking remains the leading preventable cause of death in the UK. It is estimated that smoking accounts for:

  • 35% of all deaths from respiratory diseases
  • 25% of all cancer deaths

Quitting reduces your risk of, heart attack, stroke, coronary heart disease and cancer.

Everybody has their own personal reasons for wanting to stop smoking. Some people give up as part of a lifestyle change to be healthier, to get fit or to save money. For others, it’s about how their smoking affects the people around them their family, friends and children.

With National No Smoking Day around the corner (11 March 2026), now is a great time to set a date to quit, and stick to it!

The moment you stop smoking, your body begins to repair itself:

  • After 1 year: Your risk of heart attack drops to half that of a smoker

Having the right support makes all the difference. With Living Well’s free stop smoking service, you are three times more likely to quit successfully than if you try on your own.
