SMOKERS on the Island are being asked to quit for 28 days next month in the first mass quit attempt launched by the Department of Health.

Stoptober is supported by NHS Isle of Wight, doctors and the Chamber Health Stop Smoking Service, which will be out and about in Ryde town centre on Tuesdays and Newport town centre on Wednesdays during the month.

For more information about the campaign, visit www.smokefree.nhs.uk/Stoptober or contact your GP or Chamber Health on 01983 554545.
