Stopping smoking is one of the best things you’ll ever do for your health and it’s never too late to quit even if you’ve tried before. The good news is that as soon as you stop smoking, the risks of serious diseases such as lung cancer, heart disease, stroke and dementia start going down.
Another bonus is the money you will save. On average £250 a month and almost £3000 a year!
Livewell offers support for Derby Homes and other social housing residents in communities across Derby. Trained advisor, Charlotte is available to support people ready to quit to stop smoking for good. The service, which started in May 2025, also offers free nicotine products and vapes.
