Bromley Healthcare works with other organisations in the borough to help local people quit smoking. In 2014, they supported 1,310 people in giving up the habit. In 2013, 18.1 per cent of residents smoked; this figure had fallen to 16 per cent in 2014.

As part of their Stoptober campaign, Bromley Healthcare will run additional Stop Smoking sessions every Thursday from 12pm to 3pm. These will take place throughout October at the Civic Centre. They have also launched a virtual support system that provides individual support for people at home.
