This October, Stoptober – the 28 day stop smoking challenge from Public Health England, is back for the sixth consecutive year – and it’s bigger than ever!
Stoptober
In 2016, the Stoptober campaign saw 1,195 smokers in Wirral alone sign up to the campaign to quite smoking for the month of October, in a bid to quit smoking all together. But one in five Wirral residents still smoke.
