Stop smoking service
Our trained Stop Smoking coaches will work with you to beat your craving and change your smoking habits by offering friendly, non-judgemental advice, tips and information.
What you can expect
The Stop Smoking service offers tailored one-to-one support, either face-to-face, on the phone or online, over an eight to twelve-week period
Each referral is assessed for suitability. Once your referral is allocated to the service, one of our Stop Smoking coaches will be in touch to arrange your first appointment.
