Stop Smoking

Want to stop smoking? 
No one needs telling that smoking’s bad for your health (not to mention bank balance) but giving up is another matter. If you’ve tried stopping or always thought it would be too hard then our Stop Smoking service is for you. People who get help to stop are three times more likely to stop for good.

Why you should stop smoking
No matter how long you’ve been smoking, you’ll feel the benefits of giving up almost straight away. Your taste and smell will get better in just a few days, plus as your lungs clear you won’t get out of breath so quickly. If your loved ones are non-smokers, you’ll also improve their lives. And don’t forget about how much money you’ll be saving the average smoker spends over £4000 every year on smoking. That’s enough for a family holiday to America each year.

What to expect

• A free 12 week programme of support
• Advice from a friendly stop smoking expert who designs an individually tailored plan ( this may be face to face or virtual depending on circumstances)
• Guidance on choosing a suitable stop smoking medication and information on how to manage cravings and withdrawal symptoms
