If you smoke, January is the perfect time to quit. Your local Smokefree Alliance is here to help you stop for good.
Quitting smoking is one of the best things you can do for your health and your wallet. People who quit can save over £2,000 a year and start feeling the health benefits within weeks.
We know quitting is tough and most people need several attempts before they succeed. Every attempt matters and brings you closer to success.
This time, you don’t have to do it alone.
Free support is available through local stop smoking services, nicotine replacement therapies and the Swap to Stop scheme, which gives adults free vape kits as a quitting aid.
People who use quit smoking services are three times more likely to quit successfully than those who try on their own.
Councillor Jenna Ho Marris, North Somerset Council’s Cabinet Member for Homes and Health, said: “It’s never too late to stop smoking and every quit attempt brings you closer to that goal. We understand the difficulties involved and our specialist advisors are trained experts who can help you quit once and for all this January.”
Councillor Stephen Williams, Chair of the Public Health and Communities Policy Committee, Bristol City Council, said: "Quitting smoking is one of the most powerful steps you can take to improve your health. We know it’s tough, but free support is here to help you succeed. Make 2026 the year you quit for good."
Councillor Alison Evans, Cabinet Member for Public Health at South Gloucestershire Council, said: “There are so many benefits to quitting smoking and you'll notice them sooner than you think – whether it's improvements to your physical health or finances. There's never been a better time to quit with so many free options for support, so take your first steps towards a healthier future and start your quit journey today.”
