It’s certainly a tough habit to kick, but our Stop Smoking service could be your key to a smoke-free life. It offers one-to-one appointments and incentives for reaching targets. 

Giving up for good

Giving up smoking is never easy but it’s certainly worthwhile. We’re all aware of the risks of lung cancer and heart attacks, not to mention the expense of the habit.

Currently, around 13 million people in the UK smoke and research shows that over half of them would like to give up. As smoking is so addictive, kicking the habit can be a daunting challenge. But the statistics speak for themselves:

• Smoking doubles your risk of having a heart attack
• 90% of lung cancer cases are caused by smoking
• Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas found in cigarette smoke – it makes it more difficult for your body to get the oxygen it needs
• Smoking 20 cigarettes a day costs around £1,800 a year

The free service that helps you quit
Our Stop Smoking service is different from many traditional quit plans. It looks at your smoking habits to help you decide on the Stop Now programme or Cut Down and Quit programme. Weekly one-to-one appointments help keep your resolve strong and provide support in conquering cravings.
