Stoptober 2026

‘Let’s quit smoking together this Stoptober’

Stoptober is back, and we’re calling on smokers across Herefordshire to join the millions of others across the UK who have quit successfully with the campaign.  It’s never too late to quit smoking. Even if you’ve tried quitting before, give it another go this Stoptober!

Quitting smoking is one of the best things you can do for your health. When you stop you’ll experience health benefits almost immediately.

The good news is, if you quit smoking for 28 days, you’re five times more likely to quit for good.

The Healthy Lifestyles team offer a FREE stop smoking service available to Herefordshire residents, or anyone registered with a Herefordshire GP surgery.

Details of the regular Healthy Lifestyle Drop-ins can be found on the Talk Community Directory.

To find out more about the Stop Smoking Service please visit the Talk Community Directory.

NHS Better Health offers a range of free quitting support. This includes the NHS Quit Smoking app, a personal quit plan tool, help to find a local stop smoking service and advice on quitting techniques such as switching to vapes.

The Smoke Free App offers round‑the‑clock support at your fingertips, including tools to track your progress, personalised behavioural support, advice to deal with cravings and a supportive online community of others who are quitting. Herefordshire residents can download the app for free.
