Smokers in Liverpool have been encouraged to quit for ‘Stoptober’ as data shows the city’s residents are kicking the habit in record numbers.

Over the past decade, Liverpool has made significant progress in its work to tackle the harms caused by smoking.

In October 2024, Liverpool City Council launched a digital-first campaign titled ‘It’s well worth it’, which showcases the benefits of stopping smoking for good and emphasises why it’s worth it.

According to Liverpool City Council, it has been revealed that rates of smoking in the city have almost halved (47 per cent), down from 23.5 per cent in 2013 to 12.5 per cent in 2023. This is a faster pace than England, which has seen a 37 per cent reduction over the same period.
