Support to quit smoking

Smoking is one of the leading causes of heart disease, stroke, and lung diseases. When you stop smoking, good things start to happen. You start to move better, breathe more easily and feel less stressed and anxious. You also save money. On average, a person smoking 10 cigarettes a day spends around £2,500 a year on tobacco.
