The County Council have become the latest local authority in England to sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allencarr.com\/en-us\/easyway-stop-smoking\/\">Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway to Quit Smoking<\/a> Live Group Seminars to help smokers in their area to get free from nicotine addiction.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mycouncil.oxfordshire.gov.uk\/mgUserInfo.aspx?UID=11951\">Councillor Dr Nathan Ley<\/a>, Oxfordshire County Council\u2019s Cabinet Member for Public Health, Inequalities and Community Safety, said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cOur smoke-free ambitions are a real priority for the council, and this pilot will complement our current smoking cessation offer from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stopforlifeoxon.org\/\">Quit for Life Oxon<\/a>. This pilot is an exciting opportunity to provide an innovative and clinically proven intervention program to the residents of Oxfordshire.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Global CEO of Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allencarr.com\/en-us\/authors\/john-dicey\/\">John Dicey<\/a>, comments:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cWe\u2019re delighted that more and more councils across England are including Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway within the options their quit smoking services are providing. The more clinically proven quit smoking methods smokers are offered, the greater their chances of success and with Easyway being the only NICE-approved drug-free option, we are playing an important part in reducing smoker numbers and saving lives.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Dicey explains that it\u2019s not just the smokers who will benefit from Oxfordshire County Council\u2019s efforts with smoking cessation,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cA 20-a-day smoker spends thousands of pounds a year on their addiction and with around 55,000 residents of the county currently smoking that adds up to \u00a373M spent every year on tobacco products. But it\u2019s not only the health impact on the smoker or the financial burden it places on them \u2013 but it also causes huge costs across society.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/ash.org.uk\/resources\/view\/ash-icb-ready-reckoner#:~:text=The%20ASH%20ICB%20Ready%20Reckoner,larger%20than%20in%20previous%20versions.\">The ASH Ready Reckoner<\/a> estimates the costs of smoking tobacco at local council level. For Oxfordshire, the estimated cost of smoking to society is over \u00a3120 million per year!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Across the South East the cost is \u00a31.9 billion and across England it adds up to \u00a312.5 billion. Helping smokers to quit, and more importantly, stay quitted, can have an extraordinary impact on the entire population\u201d.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Local Councils interested in introducing
