Stoptober returns

This October, community pharmacy teams will once again be encouraging customers to quit smoking for 28 days as part of the Stoptober challenge. The campaign provides an ideal opportunity for pharmacy staff to engage with customers about quitting smoking, discuss nicotine replacement therapy products and offer advice. It will be promoted through a high profile advertising campaign, launching this month.

Pharmacies can now order toolkits free of charge by calling 0300 123 1019. The kits contain a 28-day tear-off calendar to track progress, a ‘health and wealth’ wheel to show the benefits of going smoke free and a scratchable intro card to help with motivation. Participants can also download a 28-day smartphone app with daily updates, motivational texts and emails and support via social media.
