Quit smoking

Services to help you quit 

Local support sessions 

You can book an appointment to speak to a stop smoking advisor who will offer free support and medication on prescription to help you quit.

Online quit smoking tool

The Stop Smoking Service have developed a quit tool that you can use from your phone, tablet or PC. The tool is:

• simple to use
• helps to work out the best treatment for you
• texts you when you may need moral support or a boost to help you on your journey to quit smoking.

You can access the stop smoking tool online. 

Specialist support 

The Stop Smoking Service can arrange for you to have specialist support if you are:

• pregnant
• using mental health services
• going into/currently in hospital.

Smokers who are finding it difficult to quit will benefit from seeing an advisor face to face and getting weekly support from the specialist team.

We also support national campaigns including:

• No Smoking Day – every March
• Stoptober – every October
