Quit smoking, it's STOPTOBER!

Today is the first day of STOPTOBER!

Stoptober is an NHS campaign to encourage people to stop smoking throughout the month of October. In 2012, the NHS said there were more than 160,000 people who managed to stop smoking for the month of October with the campaign. This year, according to the website stoptober.smokefree.nhs.uk, there are over 200,000 people taking part - will you be one of the smokers who's made the decision that now is the right time to take control of this habit and stop smoking for good?!

In the UK, around 114,000 people die every year from smoking-related illnesses and it remains one of the biggest causes of death and illness... do you want to end up as part of these statistics? Or would you prefer to make up a much more positive statistic of how many people manage to quit?! Research suggests that those who successfully stop for four weeks are then five times more likely to stay smoke-free.

There is no question that stopping smoking is an insurmountable challenge to many who try, but we do know that kicking that nasty habit can make a big difference to your health. With support and dedication, you can stand out from the pack.

Stoptober participants will be supported every step of the way being provided with a support pack, mobile app, and motivating texts throughout the month. And if you would like some additional help for that extra boost of motivation, hypnotherapy could be just what you are looking for. Hypnotherapy has helped many many people stop smoking in just one session and it could also help you.
