After 28 days smoke-free, you’re five times more likely to quit for good.

It’s not easy. It can feel overwhelming but small steps can make all the difference.

Some of the best incentives to make a change to our health is when we see progress – and see it happen quickly. And when we stop smoking, there are benefits almost immediately.

  • Your stress levels will come down and you’ll feel more relaxed.
  • Within 3 days, you’ll start to feel improvements to your physical health; you’ll breathe better, your taste and smell will improve, and you will be able to take part in physical activity more comfortably.  
  • You’ll no longer be risking the health of the people you love. Because you smoke, they are more at risk of smoke related illnesses like heart and lung disease, stroke, cancer and breathing problems.
  • You’ll save money. With the average person spending £365 per month.
  • You’ll probably be extending your life. About half of all life-long smokers will die prematurely, losing on average about 10 years of life. (ASH, Smoking statistics fact sheet.)
