Why you should quit smoking

Stopping smoking is one of the best things you can do for your health. When you quit, you’ll have more energy, breathe easier, and start feeling the benefits almost immediately:

• Quitting smoking can massively boost your bank balance, giving you more money to spend on the things that matter. For example, if you smoke 10 a day, you could save over £2,000 a year!
• Your ability to taste and smell will improve within days.
• As your lungs clear, you won’t get out breath as quickly, and you’ll have more energy.
• After a couple a weeks, you’ll notice more benefits, such as having more energy, feeling healthier and healthier, glowing skin.
• Stopping smoking has also been proven to boost your overall wellbeing by lowering common feelings such as stress, anxiety, and depression.
• Quitting will also reduce your risk of dementia. In fact, up to 4 in 10 cases of dementia are linked to risk factors that we can change, including smoking.

Swap to a Vape

If you are a smoker, aged 18 or over, and live/work/study in Warwickshire or are registered with a Warwickshire GP, you’re eligible for a free Vape Quit Kit and 12 weeks of free one-to-one support from our qualified Stop Smoking practitioners. This support is part of the government’s national Swap to Stop smoking campaign.

E-cigarettes/vapes are an effective aid for stopping smoking, especially when combined with behavioural support. While not risk-free, vaping is significantly safer than smoking, and we encourage smokers who want to make the switch to vaping to do so.

Stop smoking in pregnancy

Stopping smoking can be a challenge, but when a new baby is on the way, quitting smoking is one of the best things you can do as a family to give your baby a heathy start in life. There are specialist advisors trained to support pregnant individuals and their families through their journey to stop smoking.
