Have you every tried to quit smoking?

By Sally - Silversurfer's Editor Sep 12, 2014

Have you ever tried to give up smoking?  How successful have you been.  What strategies did you use?

New research released by Boots UK today,  shows smokers think giving up smoking is as big an achievement as buying a home. In fact, 61% of smokers say quitting smoking is one of their lifetime ambitions.

Research results:

  • ·   61% of smokers say quitting smoking is one of their lifetime ambitions
  • ·   Smokers compared the achievement of quitting smoking with learning to drive (49%) and climbing a mountain (46%)
  • ·   Smokers see giving up smoking as a bigger challenge than losing weight (60%)

The research coincides with the launch of the government’s Stoptober campaign.
