Stoptober & Go Sober for October
As the nights get longer and weather gets that bit colder, we start thinking about Halloween, Bonfire Night and Christmas; they aren’t that far away now! October offers two options with Stoptober and Go Sober for October. So if you want to quit smoking or drink less, this month has got you covered!
Sober October encourages people to go booze-free in October to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support, who need your support now more than ever. In the UK lung cancer accounted for 21% of all cancer cases in 2017 and is the most common cause of cancer death [2].
Stoptober encourages people to stop smoking. Stopping smoking is one of the best things you’ll ever do for your health. When you stop, you give your lungs the chance to repair and you’ll be able to breathe easier. There are lots of other benefits too – and they start almost immediately.
