Bassetlaw: Smokers urged to give up habit for 28 days in October

Stoptober, which challenges smokers to quit for 28 days in October is entering its third year.

Currently 19.5 per cent of adults in Bassetlaw smoke, similar to the average of 19.4 per cent across Notts.

This year’s Stoptober challenge is using humour to help people tackle the idea of giving up smoking, and top British comedians including Paddy McGuinness, Al Murray, Simon Brodkin (aka Lee Nelson, Jason Bent and Dr Bob) and Andi Osho will be bringing a touch of the British sense of humour to help quitters through this difficult and daunting challenge.
