About this event
Stoptober is back, calling on smokers in England to join the 2.5 million others who have made attempts to quit during this successful campaign.
This October, we are encouraging smokers across Hounslow to join thousands of others in quitting for 28 days. If you can quit for Stoptober, it can make you five times more likely to quit for good…!
Over 5 million adults in England still smoke, and smoking remains the leading cause of preventable illness and death – it’s responsible for 64,000 deaths each year.
In a 2021 report by the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities it showed adults who smoke with a long-term health condition in Hounslow was higher than levels seen regionally and nationally.
In the same year, the annual Office for National Statistics survey showed that men in Hounslow smoked more than women. The survey also found that just over 17% of adults living in Hounslow were ex-smokers.
By quitting, you can drastically improve your health, and you’ll notice positive changes like moving more easily, breathing better, and even saving money.
