Need help to quit smoking? Try the NHS Quit Smoking app

Posted on 31 March 2025


NEED HELP TO STOP SMOKING? TRY THE NEW APP!

There’s a lot of negative press about smoking, but today, I want to focus on the positives of quitting! Giving up smoking is one of the best things you can do for your health, and the benefits start almost immediately.

Reduced Risk of Serious Diseases

Quitting significantly lowers your chances of developing smoking-related illnesses, and the longer you stay smoke-free, the greater the benefits:

  • After 1 year – Your risk of a heart attack is halved compared to a smoker.
  • After 10 years – Your risk of dying from lung cancer falls to half that of a smoker.
  • After 15 years – Your heart attack risk is the same as someone who has never smoked.

Plus, you’ll be less likely to develop type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, eye disease, and even dementia.

Download the Free NHS Quit Smoking App

Need support to quit? The NHS Quit Smoking app provides personalised help to keep you on track!

With the app, you can:

  • ✅ Track your progress
  • 💰 See how much you’re saving
  • 📅 Get daily support
  • 💬 Be inspired by others who’ve quit

Once you reach 28 days smoke-free, you’re much more likely to quit for good!

Every day smoke-free is a step towards a healthier, longer life. If you’re thinking about quitting, take that first step today – your future self will thank you! 💪💙
