We all know that smoking is bad for your health (not to mention bank balance) but giving up is another matter. If you’ve tried stopping or always thought it would be too hard then our Stop Smoking service is for you. People who get help to stop are five times more likely to stop for good due to the support and encouragement you would get from your own stop smoking advisor.
Why should you Stop Smoking?
No matter how long you’ve been smoking, you’ll feel the benefits of giving up almost straight away. Your taste and smell will get better in just a few days, plus as your lungs clear you won’t get out of breath so quickly. If your loved ones are non-smokers, you’ll also improve their lives. And don’t forget about how much money you’ll be saving the average smoker spends over £4000 every year on smoking. That’s enough for a family holiday to America each year.

Swap to Stop is in Peterborough!
Smokers aged 18 and over and living in Cambridgeshire are be able to benefit from a Government scheme encouraging them to quit with the aid of a vape.
The Swap to Stop scheme supports adult smokers to quit their cigarettes for a free vape starter kit as part of a twelve-week programme of support. Adult smokers signing up to the programme can also benefit from other smoking treatments such as NRT to help manage cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
Swap to Stop is part of a series of new measures to help the Government meet its ambition of being smokefree by 2030 – reducing smoking rates to 5% or less.
