Stopping smoking is one of the best things smokers can do to improve their health. The good news is that thousands of people manage to stop every year, and you could be one of them.
You may be reading this because you want to help a friend or family member to stop; if you call the number below, we can send this person some information that may help them take the first step to quitting.
STOP! is a free, NHS service that supports smokers who live or work in Leicester to take the positive step of quitting the habit, for the sake of their health, their finances, their families and the environment.
