Still Time for a Stoptober Bonus

There’s still time to commit to quitting and get smoke-free for Stoptober.

If you can quit for a month, you’re five times more likely to keep going and give up for good. 

Hounslow Council has joined forces with BetterPoints - the borough-based app that rewards health and physical activity - to give smokers the chance to earn extra points - which can be converted into shopping vouchers.

If you sign up for a free course to help you to stop smoking you’ll earn 5,000 BetterPoints - worth £5 after your first session.

If you stay the course and keep on quitting, you’ll receive the top prize 25,000 of BetterPoints - the equivalent of £25.

BetterPoints can be exchanged for shopping vouchers or donated to the charity of your choice. 

It’s a simple four-step process to kickstart your smoke-free journey to better health.

  1. Download the BetterPoints app (available for Android and IOS devices) here
  2. Sign up for a free stop-smoking course with Healthy Hounslow here
  3. Stop smoking and stick at it.
  4. Celebrate your success with a BetterPoints payout!

Smoking leads to a long list of serious illnesses including lung disease, respiratory conditions, cancer and heart disease. So stopping makes perfect sense.
