🧘 TAKE A MOMENT – Try deep breathing, mindfulness or simply giving yourself a break.
🚶 GET MOVING – A short walk or some fresh air can help lift your mood!

💬 TALK ABOUT IT – Don't bottle things up! Reach out to someone you trust.

🚭💜🧡 STOPTOBER – LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR HEALTH! 🧡💜🚭

❤️ YOUR HEALTH MATTERS… AND SO DOES EVERY STEP YOU TAKE TOWARDS A SMOKE-FREE LIFE! 🙌

Did you know your body starts to recover from smoking much sooner than you might think? 🤯

🌟 LOOK WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU STOP SMOKING!

❤️ After 20 minutes – Your heart rate begins to return towards normal.

🫁 After 48 hours – Carbon monoxide levels drop to those of a non-smoker, and your lungs begin clearing mucus.

👃 After 48 hours – Your sense of taste and smell starts to improve!

💪 After 2–12 weeks – Your circulation begins to improve, making physical activity easier.

🌬️ After 3–9 months – Breathing problems, coughing and wheezing can improve as your lung function increases.

❤️ After 1 year – Your risk of a heart attack is around half that of someone who continues smoking!

💜 AMAZING, RIGHT?! 🤩

And remember, it's never too late to make a positive change!

🚭 WANT TO SEE HOW SMOKING IS AFFECTING YOUR BODY?

Come along and try our Carbon Monoxide (CO) Monitors at Gateshead Recovery Partnership! 🫁

📚 We've also got FREE Stoptober Activity Packs packed with helpful advice, coping strategies, craving distractions and activities!

🚭💜🧡 STOPTOBER – LET'S TALK SMOKE-FREE HOMES! 🧡💜🚭

🏡 YOUR HOME. YOUR SPACE. FRESHER AIR! 🌈

Did you know that making your home smoke-free is one of the best ways to protect yourself and the people around you from second-hand smoke? 💜

And with Stoptober in full swing, what better time to make a positive change! 🙌

🌟 WHY GO SMOKE-FREE AT HOME?
👶 PROTECT LITTLE LUNGS – Children and babies are especially vulnerable to second-hand smoke.
❤️ LOOK AFTER YOUR LOVED ONES – A smoke-free home helps protect family, friends and visitors.
🐾 DON'T FORGET YOUR PETS! – Our furry friends can also be affected by to***co smoke.
🏡 A FRESHER HOME – Say goodbye to lingering smoke smells on furniture, curtains and clothes!
🚭 SUPPORT YOUR QUIT JOURNEY – Removing smoking triggers from your home can help you manage cravings.

💡 DID YOU KNOW? Opening windows or smoking in another room doesn't remove the risks of second-hand smoke. The safest option is to keep smoking completely outside!

💜 SMALL CHANGES CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE!
Not ready to quit completely? Making your home smoke-free is still a fantastic step towards protecting those around you! 🫶

📚 DON'T FORGET! Our FREE Stoptober Activity Packs are available throughout the service, packed with coping strategies, craving distractions and fun activities!

🚭💜🧡 BACK TO STOPTOBER… LET'S TALK HEALTHY EATING! 🧡💜🚭

Did you know that what you eat can make a difference when you're trying to quit smoking? 🍎🥕

When you stop smoking, your appetite and taste buds can change, and you might find yourself reaching for snacks more often! 🍫

But don't worry… WE'VE GOT SOME TIPS TO HELP! 🙌

🌟 OUR TOP HEALTHY EATING TIPS FOR STOPTOBER!

🍎 SNACK SMART – Keep fruit, veggie sticks or other healthy snacks handy when cravings strike!

💧 STAY HYDRATED – Drinking plenty of water can help keep you feeling refreshed and give you something to do when a craving hits!

🥗 EAT REGULAR MEALS – A balanced diet can help maintain your energy and support your wellbeing.

🥕 KEEP YOUR HANDS BUSY – Try crunchy snacks like carrot sticks when you feel the urge to smoke!

☕ WATCH YOUR CAFFEINE – Caffeine can affect you more strongly after quitting smoking, so consider cutting back if you're feeling jittery!

💜 REMEMBER… QUITTING SMOKING IS A BIG ACHIEVEMENT!

Don't put pressure on yourself to have the perfect diet. Small, positive changes can make a BIG difference! 🌈
