Stoptober – join the challenge today and quit smoking (or something else!)

Quit something else if you’re not a smoker
While Stoptober is a national campaign aimed at smokers, there’s nothing preventing you from quitting something else; perhaps you’ve been wanting to stop – insert an undesirable habit/behaviour here – but you just haven’t been able to get started. Why not take some action today and turn Stoptober into an opportunity to make a positive change in your life!
