Each year, Public Health England, the NHS and local support organisations work together to support communities to reduce smoking and take positive steps towards better health.

This year, as part of National No Smoking Day and Stoptober, Better Cornwall's Community Team, are collaborating with partners Healthy Cornwall and Public Health, to establish its centres across Cornwall as Smoke-Free Sites.

The NHS highlights that quitting smoking or vaping is a journey, and that support is available at every stage - whether people are:

  • Thinking about quitting
  • Ready to quit, or
  • Need help staying smoke-free
  • The NHS Better Health website offers practical tips and support to help people through tough times, stay focused, and quit for good:

Everyone deserves a healthier, smoke-free life. Let’s get started.

Liskeard Leisure Centre with launch on 6th June, as Better's 4th centre.

In addition, our partner Healthy Cornwall will be offering drop-in support sessions, in our centre, providing advice and guidance on stopping smoking and vaping:

Wednesday 20th May 12.30pm-2.30pm

Wednesday 27th May 12.30pm-2.30pm

We hope you will support our journey as an organisation to help people improve their health by seeing and experiencing the benefits of stopping smoking and vaping.
