Locals in Hackney, Lewisham, Croydon and Tower Hamlets are being offered support and resources to quit smoking as part of the Stopober campaign.

Research shows that people who participate in the 28-day stop smoking challenge are five times more likely to quit for good.

The campaign, which launched in 2012 by Public Health England, is part of the One You programme, which aims to help people make small changes to their lifestyle.
