Kick the Habit in 2025: A Healthier You Starts with Saying Goodbye to Smoking!

The start of a new year is a great opportunity to make an attempt to quit smoking.

Smoking claims around 64,000 lives a year in England, and causes one in four of all cancer deaths in England and kills up to two-thirds of its long-term users. We know most smokers want to quit but lack a plan to do so.

Quitting without support (relying on willpower and going ‘cold turkey’) is the least effective way of quitting, but is how most quit attempts start…and then fail. This is where your NHS can help.

There are a range of free quitting support available to help smokers quit for good this New Year. These include

  • the free NHS Quit Smoking app
  • expert support from local Stop Smoking Services
  • a Personal Quit Plan tool
  • a 28-day email programme
  • advice on stop smoking aids including information on how vaping can help you quit smoking.
