If you’re passing by, we’re inviting you to stop and say hi and find out about all the support available to help you quit. You might even be surprised that a trip to the shops could give your health a boost, make you feel less stressed and even save you money!
“It is never too late to quit smoking. Our message to smokers for Stoptober is to give quitting a go, even if you’ve tried to quit before.”
