No Smoking Day – 12th March
Make a fresh quit for No Smoking Day
This No Smoking Day quitting is the most important thing you can do for better health, more money and for your family. Smoking just one cigarette a day raises your risks of heart attack or stroke.
Getting support to quit can improve your chances of quitting for good – from free quitting aids to help reduce cravings to local stop smoking service support.
It doesn’t matter how many times you have tried before – give it another try and treat previous quit attempts as stepping stones.
It can take a number of attempts to successfully stop for good – but there are lots of ways to stop which can take a lot of the stress out of quitting.
Your chances improve if you use a quitting aid or switch completely to vaping to reduce cravings. Sunderland Stop Smoking Service can provide free vapes, patches and 1-2-1 support to help you stop for good.
