Stoptober starts today: Let’s Quit Smoking Together
Stoptober 2025 has officially begun! This October, we’re not just quitting smoking, we’re doing it together.
The Stoptober theme, ‘Let’s Quit Smoking Together’, is all about creating a safe, supportive space where everyone feels encouraged to take that first, or next step.
Whether you're a smoker thinking about quitting, you’ve tried before, or just keen to support a friend or family member on their journey – we’re dedicating this month to motivation, support, and community.
Whether you are smoker or not, we’re all in this one together.
Three reasons why now is the perfect time to quit
- If you make it to 28 days smoke-free, you’re 5 times more likely to quit for good
- You’ll get access to free tools, advice, and encouragement every step of the way
- You’ll be joining thousands across the country all committing to quit together this October
And there’s more…
The council is running a special Stoptober prize draw. Everyone who signs up and gives quitting a go will be entered to win a signed Millwall shirt if they register with Smokefree Lewisham.
A healthier you and a chance to win? Not quitting is not an option.
