Stop Smoking

 

Find out how we can support you to quit smoking

If you are trying to give up smoking, there is plenty of support at the Practice or your local Pharmacy.

You are four times more likely to succeed with the support of a healthcare professional compared to going it alone. If you want to discuss how to quit or want to try quitting again, make an appointment with a Practice Nurse at the Practice.

Alternatively, if you need more flexibility with times of your stop smoking support, visit your local Pharmacist. They all have an individual consulting room if you would like to discuss this with someone privately.

Our local Stop Smoking Service can:

  • Boost your willpower to stop smoking.
  • Concentrate your efforts by getting advice from someone who knows your medical background.
  • Help you feel that you are not doing it alone.
  • Help you to cope when you are tempted to smoke.
  • Monitor improvements to your health so that you can see the benefits.
  • Offer appropriate medicines or smoking replacement therapies whilst you are quitting.
