We hope to make a significant contribution toward the council achieving its \u201cSmoke Free by 2030\u201d ambitions\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The council is trialling the innovative, drug-free Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway method as part of their ambition to make their entire council area \u201csmoke-free\u201d by 2030.<\/p>\n<p>To achieve smoke-free status, the council needs to reduce smoking prevalence to 5% of the population (the rate required to achieve \u201csmoke-free\u201d status) down from the current 11.1%.<\/p>\n<p>This will mean reducing the current figure of approximately 20,000 smokers in Westmorland and Furness (11.1% of the adult population) by half \u2013 if nobody else takes up the habit during this time.<\/p>\n<p>People living in the Barrow-in-Furness area will be able to access the pilot for free. It will only be available for 12 months and with limited spaces available, smokers wanting to quit are being urged to book their slot soon.<\/p>\n<h2>Pilot scheme to help people quit smoking the \u201cEasyway\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>Barrow-in-Furness has been chosen to host the pilot as the area has significantly higher rates of smoking (19%) compared to the South Lakeland (10%) and Eden (8%) areas according to the latest ONS (Office for National Statistics) data.<\/p>\n<p>Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway to Quit Smoking Method (ACE) is a cognitive behavioural therapy and the live group seminars are endorsed by NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) and the World Health Organisation (WHO).<\/p>\n<p>Vicky Hepworth-Putt, a Public Health Consultant with Westmorland and Furness Council, said: \u201cOur <em>\u201cSmoke Free by 2030\u201d ambitions are a real priority for the council. If we can achieve our aims, we\u2019ll have helped to improve the general health of the population significantly whilst reducing pressure on the NHS.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis pilot is an exciting opportunity to trial an innovative and clinically proven intervention program in our area.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d urge all smokers living in the Barrow-in-Furness area to book a slot on the program and give it a go. After the pilot has ended, we\u2019ll conduct a thorough evaluation and decide how we move forward with our smoking cessation offer in Westmorland and Furness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>John Dicey, Global Chief Executive and Senior Facilitator with Allen Carr&#8217;s Easyway, said: \u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer our drug free live group seminars and our pre-recorded online video programs to help the smokers of Westmorland and Furness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allencarr.com\/en-us\/location\/westmorland-and-furness-council\/\">Click to book a place free of charge with Westmorland
