No matter how long you’ve smoked for, quitting can help improve your health straight away.

We’re proud that evidence is now growing that e-cigarettes are playing a significant role in helping smokers quit and the Stoptober website recommends using e-cigarettes as a particularly effective stop smoking aid.

If you’re thinking of quitting this October here’s our quick guide to help you quit:

1) Tell your friends and family you’re aiming to stop smoking this Stoptober. If you’ve told your nearest and dearest you’re less likely to waiver!

2) Think positively – you CAN do it.

3) It’s easier with a bit of help and some positive reminders about why you’re quitting. Sign up for the NHS’s Smokefree support here. Where you can choose from an app, Quit Kit, email, SMS and face-to-face guidance to help you through the month.

4) Get started on the road to a smoke free October and beyond with one of our e-cigarette starter kits. The Royal College of Physicians says smokers who use e-cigarettes are more likely to quit permanently.

5) Prepare for the month by avoiding temptation and make sure there are no cigarettes lying about in the house to tempt you.

If you’re going to try to give up this October it’s a resounding ‘Good luck’ from all the E-Cigs team.
