The start of a new year is a great time to think about changes that can support your health and wellbeing. If quitting smoking is on your list, you’re not alone – and support is available.
A new South East campaign is encouraging people to quit by challenging the myth that smoking relieves stress. Evidence shows that stopping smoking can
improve both your physical health and your mental wellbeing.
Within weeks of quitting, your brain starts to rebalance dopamine – sometimes called the “happy hormone” – which nicotine can interfere with. Many people find they feel calmer, more in control, and better able to cope day-to-day.
It doesn’t matter how long you’ve smoked, or how many times you’ve tried. Support works, and local stop smoking services across Sussex can help you every step of the way.
