🚭Stop For Good: Supporting Liverpool to Become Smokefree
At Priory Medical Centre, we are proud to support the Stop for Good campaign, part of Liverpool’s wider ambition to create a healthier, smokefree future for everyone.
Smoking remains the leading cause of preventable illness and death in our communities, contributing to a range of serious health conditions including heart disease, stroke, lung disease, cancer, and dementia. It is also one of the biggest drivers of health inequalities, disproportionately affecting people living in our most deprived neighbourhoods.
The good news is that support is available, and it works.
Research consistently shows that people who access specialist stop smoking services are significantly more likely to quit successfully than those who try to stop on their own. Local services across Liverpool provide free, confidential support, personalised quit plans, nicotine replacement therapies, and ongoing encouragement to help people stop smoking for good.
❤️Why Quit?
The benefits of stopping smoking begin almost immediately:
- Improved blood pressure and circulation ❤️
- Better lung function and breathing 🫁
- Reduced risk of heart disease, stroke and cancer 💪
- Improved mental wellbeing 🧠
- More money in your pocket 💷
- Protection for family members from the harmful effects of second-hand smoke 👨👩👧👦
For many people, stopping smoking can also mean saving thousands of pounds each year.
🤝Support Available in Liverpool
Liverpool residents can access free support through Smokefree Liverpool, including:
