Stoptober is back for 2020, with the primary aim of encouraging the nation’s smokers to make an attempt to quit for the month of October and beyond. As with previous Stoptober campaigns, this year’s campaign is founded on the evidence that if a smoker can quit for 28 days, they are five times for likely to quit for good.
The NHS have a free Stoptober app to help you quit smoking and start breathing easier.
Stoptober is a 28 day stop smoking challenge. The app allows you to:
- track your progress
- see how much you’re saving
- get daily support
For details on the app and the link needed to download to the relevant device you can find it here.
