Did you pledge to quit smoking in the New Year? Keep going!

Did you pledge to ditch the cigarettes with our stop smoking service in January? You’re getting closer to hitting your 12-week quit milestone.

Keep going and remember your ultimate goal. It could be wanting to keep up with your child without getting out of breath, saving money and affording a family holiday, or simply to feel healthier and better within yourself.

If January wasn’t the month you decided to quit, then make the decision today. Whether it’s your first attempt or you’ve tried before, it’s never too late to take the leap.

You’re three times more likely to quit for good with the support of our stop smoking service.

What we can offer, all for free…

• Face-to-face support and advice
• Phone calls/texts to check in with you
• Vape starter kit, with a 12-week supply of salts
• Nicotine Replacement Therapy such as nicotine patches and gum
• COMING SOON! Varenicline – medication to reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms
