How to quit

Thinking about quitting smoking? You're not alone. Around 60% of smokers want to quit, and with the right support, you can too. You're three times more likely to succeed with the help of a trained adviser and stop smoking products, which we provide for free. Prescription-only medications like Varenicline or Cytisine have a cost if you're not entitled to free prescriptions. Our friendly advisers are here to guide you through a 10 to 12-week programme designed for anyone aged 12 and over. With their support and the right products, you can manage withdrawal symptoms and focus on quitting for good. If you're ready to quit contact the service for further support.

Stop smoking products

Our advisers will help you choose the most suitable product for you, available for up to 10-12 weeks:

  • Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT): Available as patches, gums, or sprays, NRT helps reduce cravings and irritability by releasing nicotine into your body.
  • Vapes: Regulated vapes are offered through our services. This popular quitting aid is available for those over 18. They help manage cravings with a fraction of the risk compared to smoking tobacco. When the nicotine from vapes is inhaled it helps to reduce withdrawal symptoms such as cravings and irritability.
  • Varenicline and Cytisine: These medications help reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings.
