Quitting smoking isn’t easy, and most people need several tries before it sticks.
If you’ve tried before but didn’t manage to stop, remember this is completely normal. Be kind to yourself, you deserve to break free from your addiction, so why not give quitting another go in 2026?
Earlier this month it was National No Smoking Day, and this year’s message was “A smokefree life starts with a smokefree day.”
Here in the South West, more than 100,000 people quit smoking last year, and many more are thinking about making 2026 the year they quit for good.
Stopping smoking is one of the best things you will ever do for your health and you’ll see the benefits straightaway. Smoking remains the leading cause of preventable illness and premature death in the UK, causing around 80,000 deaths each year and harming nearly every organ of the body.
The sooner you quit, the sooner you will start to feel better and breathe more easily.
