It's still not too late to give it up...
Although we are now into October, it’s
not too late! During October, smokers
on the Isle of Wight are being
encouraged to take part in the first
ever mass quit attempt launched by
the Department of Health – Stoptober.
If anyone can stop smoking for 28
days they are five times more likely
to stay smoke free, and Stoptober
leads smokers through a detailed
step-by-step programme to help them
achieve this goal.
Many famous faces, organisations,
employers and the Isle of Wight stop
smoking service are supporting the
brand new stop smoking campaign
in a bid to get people to quit. The
new campaign includes a preparation
pack, 28-day Quit Calendar and Health
& Wealth wheel.
Smokers will receive support and
encouragement through a daily
messaging service, inspiration from
celebrity mentors, and expert advice

• Stoptober app (available via
Smartphone)
• Motivational text messages
• Facebook page
As well as the financial benefits of
stopping smoking, those undertaking
the 28 day programme will experience
physical improvements including a
better sense of smell and taste and
more energy.
Longer term, those who stop
smoking reduce their risk of heart
disease and lung cancer as well
as protecting others from their
second-hand smoke.
Smoking is one of the biggest cause
of premature death on the Island
and each year it accounts for over
100,000 deaths in the UK and one
in two long-term smokers will die
prematurely from a smoking disease.

of its kind, visit smokefree.nhs.uk/
