Eric’s stop smoking story

Eric Page describes his journey to stop smoking. Why he started, how he's tried to quit before, and how he finally gave up with the help of smoking cessation services in Brighton & Hove.

Giving up has immediate health benefits, no matter how long you’ve smoked for. It’s the single best thing you can do for your health.

Brighton & Hove City Council has teamed up with Switchboard, an LGBTQ organisation in the city, to ensure the community knows there is support available to help them quit.

The council’s e-cigarette friendly service offers free one to one support along with licensed stop smoking medications at the cost of a prescription.

More than 10,000 smokers have quit smoking in the last four years in Brighton & Hove.
