In the NELondoner today

In the NELondoner paper today, Archie Rowlins discusses the wide divide in spending on smoking cessation across London. In fact, NHS England data shows there is a 30 fold difference between some boroughs with Westminster spending £8,196 per quitter while Brent spends only £273.

Many councils are failing to spend their full allocation on smoking cessation. In fact, nationally 23 Local Authorities spent under 50% of their available funds and 71 spent under 75%. One of the reasons is inability of some Local Authorities to reach those people who need help and support. Allen Carr’s Easyway has been very effective, with their Local Authority work, at reaching all demographics and encouraging smokers who are not going to the stop smoking services to take those important first steps.

Paul Baker, CEO of Allen Carr’s Easyway to Stop Smoking said
“In terms of quitting successfully, with our method, it works for everybody, no matter how long you’ve been smoking or your background or your education levels or ethnicity, it doesn’t matter.

“So, it looks like the same success rate on every single one.

“So that’s the good news, there is a method out there that’s drug-free that helps everybody.”
