'Stoptober' stop-smoking campaign launched in England Research has shown that people who manage to stop smoking for that length of time are more likely not to start again.England's Chief Medical Officer Professor Dame Sally Davies said it was the first time that the government had launched a "mass quit attempt".
The campaign will involve TV and radio advertising, a daily messaging service and roadshows around the country. There is also a Stoptober app and a Facebook page.
Health Minister Norman Lamb, who said he quit smoking last week, told BBC Breakfast the campaign was "a good investment in health promotion".
"I think it's well worth trying this approach," he said.
"And if we can get people working locally together collectively to give up we can have a real impact."

Robert West, director of tobacco studies at University College London, meanwhile, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that smokers tended to stop "in clumps".
