Residents in Southend and across the East of England are being encouraged to make this summer the season they quit smoking.
The Let's Be Clear campaign, led by the East of England Tobacco Control Programme, has launched its new “Smoke Free Summer” initiative to support people in taking the first step towards a healthier, smoke-free future.
Why quit this summer?
With more time spent outdoors enjoying the warmer weather, summer is the perfect opportunity to stop smoking. Quitting now can help you:
- improve your health
- save money
- enjoy activities without cigarettes
- spend quality time with family and friends
Free support is available
The campaign highlights the free support available through local stop smoking services across the region.
You can access advice, tools, and tailored support to help you quit successfully. In fact, evidence shows you're up to three times more likely to quit for good when using specialist support compared to going it alone.
Take your first step today
The campaign runs throughout the summer and aims to inspire more people to make a positive change.
