Why quit smoking?

Quitting smoking is the most beneficial thing you can do for your health. You'll be less likely to suffer from a seemingly never-ending list of health problems. No matter your age, it's never too late to quit. The benefits are almost immediate. Within 48 hours our lungs begin to clear out mucus and other smoking debris; carbon monoxide is eliminated from the body and our oxygen supply rapidly improves.

The cost of smoking has increased by nearly 100% over the past 10 years. The average smoker can save £1,800 a year by stopping smoking. A 20-a-day smoker can save up to £4,000 a year!

How you can benefit from quitting smoking:

Helps you feel better

Gives you more energy

Helps you handle stress better

Helps you think clearer

Makes you healthier

Helps you live longer

Reduces the risk of artery disease

Lowers your blood pressure

Prevents type 2 diabetes and some cancers

How does this work?

The tailored approach LiveWell Dorset uses to come up with solutions to the things that are stopping us achieving our goals, is based upon work done by University College London developing the COM-B model of behaviour change. In this model, all behaviour is influenced by understanding a person’s capability to change, their opportunity to change and their motivation to change. By understanding which of these is the biggest barrier to change, we can tailor support accordingly. This model of behaviour change is at the centre of the support we offer, online and in person.
