stop smoking clinics
Our stop smoking services are free, friendly and can massively boost your chances of quitting for good.
You will normally be offered a one-to-one appointment with an adviser. Please ask reception to book one today with our HCA or Nurse.
At your first meeting with an adviser, you'll talk about why you smoke and why you want to quit, as well as any attempts you've made to quit in the past. You'll also be able to decide on a quit date.
At your first session, you'll also discuss NHS-endorsed stop smoking treatments available to help you. These are nicotine replacement products - including patches, gum, lozenges, inhalators and mouth and nasal sprays - and the stop smoking tablets Champix (varenicline) and Zyban (bupropion).
