Stoptober - like October, but without cigarettes

28 day challenge

During October, thousands of people across England are taking part in Stoptober - a new 28 day challenge to stop smoking.

There's lots of free support to help smokers along the way, including a free App for PCs & smartphones to track your progress, a pack containing tools and tips (including a stress ball to give you something to do with your hands!) and you can even sign up to receive daily motivational texts. By stopping smoking for 28 days, you are five times more likely to stay smoke free!

For more information on smoking and advice on how to give up see the Smoke Free site which includes tools, video stories from real quitters, tips on the best ways to give up and more.

The Northamptonshire county wide service can also be contacted on smokefree@northants.nhs.uk or call 0845 6013116.
