Stop Smoking

Quitting smoking isn’t about being perfect — it’s about making small changes that work for you. Whether you’re thinking about quitting, cutting down, or just curious, we’re here to support you.

Try these swaps when cravings hit:

  • Call a friend
  • Go for a walk
  • Listen to music
  • Practice calming breathing (4-5-6 technique)

Every small step counts.

Why quit?

  • Be there for your loved ones – children of smokers are 4x more likely to smoke.
  • Feel better – more energy, easier breathing, better mood.
  • Save money – quitting can save you around £49 a week — that’s over £2,500 a year!
