My SmokeFree Life Walsall provides a 12-week behavioural support programme which gives you the toolkit to become smoke free.
We understand it can be difficult going it alone, so as well as all the features of the app, we increase your chances of success by also giving you access to:
• 1:1 expert advice from a Stop Smoking Practitioner
• Up to 12 weeks of stop smoking treatments posted directly to your door.

Tobacco use is the single most preventable cause of ill health in the UK, so our app is designed to help you quit whatever your age and no matter how long you have smoked so why not get started today?

Benefits of quitting smoking:

• Fitness: if you smoke, you get less oxygen to your heart, lungs and muscles. This reduces your physical fitness and ability to exercise.

• Fertility: men and women who smoke are more likely to have fertility problems and take longer to conceive than non-smokers.

• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: tobacco smoke contains poisonous chemicals that pass through the placenta into the baby’s blood. They slow the baby’s growth, effect development, and increase the chances of a miscarriage, premature birth or stillbirth. It’s never too late in pregnancy to stop, you and your baby will benefit as soon as you quit. Chemicals are also passed to baby via the breast milk.

• Family: children are influenced to start smoking by exposure to it. A child in a family where parents or Grandparents smoke is up to three times more likely to become a smoker. Second-hand smoke affects everyone, but babies and children are put at risk of sudden and unexpected death in infancy (SUDI), respiratory/chest illnesses and infections, reduced lung function, middle ear disease and asthma attacks, eye irritation. All of these are reduced from being in a smoke free family.

• Money: quitting smoking or using any form of tobacco can really benefit your bank account. On average, most people who quit smoking save around £250 per month. When a pack of cigarettes costs approximately £10, you can see how quickly this adds up.

The app provides weekly sessions so the information is easy to follow and will cover everything from how to prepare for a successful quit to how to maintain your non-smoker status!

If you have cravings, you will get tips on how to deal with them and a personalised dashboard so you can follow your progress and track:
• The money you’ve saved.
• The number of days you’ve been smoke free.

With each new milestone that you achieve, you will earn badges to reward your hard work, with downloadable certificates so you can share your progress with friends and family.

Smoking causes damage to the lungs and airways and harms the immune system, reducing your ability to fight infection. Smoking is also very harmful to the cardiovascular system (the heart and the blood vessels that carry blood around your body), which has many negative impacts on health, including an increased risk of heart attack and stroke.
