About this event
Stoptober is back, calling on smokers in England to join the 2.5 million others who have made attempts to quit during this successful campaign.
This October, we are encouraging smokers across Croydon to join thousands of others in quitting for 28 days. If you can quit for Stoptober, it can make you five times more likely to quit for good…!
Over 5 million adults in England still smoke, and smoking remains the leading cause of preventable illness and death – it’s responsible for 64,000 deaths each year.
Last year the annual Office for National Statistics survey with 295 local residents showed that more adults in Croydon were smokers compared to 2023. The survey also found that just over 13% of adults living in Croydon were ex-smokers.
By quitting, you can drastically improve your health, and you’ll notice positive changes like moving more easily, breathing better, and even saving money.
