Stoptober

Are you a smoker in Nottingham city looking to quit? This Stoptober, why not start your quit attempt with Stub it!

Smoking is one of the biggest causes of ill-health and death in Nottingham. The high levels of lung cancer, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease (COPD), and heart disease in Nottingham city are linked to the higher-than-average amount of smokers in the city, with 21% of adults smoking tobacco every day.

As well as damaging your health, smoking is an incredibly expensive habit. The average smoker spends over £2,000 a year on cigarettes alone. That’s an awful lot of money, especially in the current cost of living crisis.
