Helping more people quit for good this Stoptober!

There’s a wide range of help available across Sunderland including the Swap to Stop programme which offers free vapes and 1-to-1 support through Sunderland Stop Smoking Service.

It’s never too late to quit, and stopping smoking is the best thing anyone can do for their health. If you or someone you know is trying to quit, check out Swap to Stop – Sunderland Smoking Service.
