Vaping is a proven, less harmful alternative for adult smokers to want to quit smoking and, when combined with support, is one of the most effective ways to quit. To find out more and sign up for free, please visit Stop Smoking Support in Wolverhampton.
Meanwhile, the Department for Health and Social Care's new Power to Quit Smoking campaign is encouraging smokers to quit using the free NHS Quit Smoking app and the Personal Quit Plan. Find out more at Quit smoking.
Councillor Obaida Ahmed, the City of Wolverhampton Council's Cabinet Member for Health, Wellbeing and Community, said: "Quitting smoking is the single best thing you can do to improve your health, protect your loved ones, and save money.
“It’s estimated that just 3 to 4% of smokers are able to give up without support, meaning people are around 13 times more likely to quit with help from programmes like Live Well Wolverhampton and Swap to Stop.
“With the right help, you have a much better chance of stopping smoking – and there’s free support available locally in Wolverhampton and nationally through the NHS."
