Smoke Free - The Way To Be
If you smoke and want to give up, did you know free help is available from SmokeStop – your local NHS Stop Smoking Service. What's more you are four times as likely to successfully kick the habit with their help than if you go it alone.
Everyone knows smoking is bad for your health but did you know cigarettes contain over 4,000 chemicals, which are harmful; or that 22% of male and 11% of female deaths are smoking-related; or that the average 20 a day smoker spends over £1800 a year on cigarettes – that’s around £36,000 on smoking over 20 years!
To date SmokeStop have helped over 3000 local people kick the habit, and around 70% of people using the services are smokefree after four weeks making us one of the most successful services in the country. Along with advice on how to give up, you can get patches, gum and other NRT (nicotine replacement therapy) on prescription.
Whatever you prefer - group support, one-to-one or casual help through a local pharmacist - there is something to suit you. Your local support can be found here >
