Stoptober

Stoptober begins on 1 October 2025 and there’s never been a better time to quit!

Stoptober is back, and we’re calling on England’s smokers to join millions of others who have quit successfully with the campaign. The good news is, if you quit smoking for 28 days, you’re five times more likely to quit for good.

That’s why this year’s Stoptober campaign is encouraging smokers to quitting this October by exploring the free support available.

Together, we can do this.
