Stoptober - Muir supports you in your bid to quit smoking

MUIR Group Housing Association is pleased to be supporting Stoptober in a bid to help residents who smoke to kick the habit.

Launched in 2012, Stoptober is the 28-day stop smoking challenge from Public Health England that encourages and supports smokers towards quitting for good.

Stoptober is based on the insight that if you can stop smoking for 28-days, you are five times more likely to be able to succeed.

Stoptober has driven almost one million quit attempts to date, with thousands more likely to take part this autumn, and this year there are plenty of ways for people and partners to get involved.

Quitting smoking can help you to improve your health straight away and enable you to have more money to spend on other things.
