Stop smoking: free guide for Fed members

12 March 2024

A free online guide is available to help Suffolk Police Federation members who want to give up smoking this National No Smoking Day.

National No Smoking Day is taking place tomorrow (March 13) and aims to encourage people to quit smoking - but you can stop any day of the year.

The guide has been produced by Police Mutual, which provides financial services and welfare support to the police service.

It highlights the short-term and long-term health benefits of quitting smoking, such as improved lung function, better circulation and reduced risk of heart attack and lung cancer.

The guide also emphasises the financial benefits of stopping smoking, with an average smoker estimated to save around £2,000 a year by giving up.

There are practical tips on packing up smoking and signposts to further help and advice.
