Our advisors will provide support and encouragement to help you become smoke free. We know that everybody is different, which is why we work with you to find a combination of support and treatment that best suits your needs.
GP and pharmacies
If you would prefer, you can speak to your GP about stopping smoking. They'll outline the benefits of quitting and assess you to decide the best way forward.
You can also get help to stop smoking by visiting your local pharmacy. You'll also be able to buy stop smoking products like patches and gum.
You can find more information about different stop smoking methods on our ready to quit page.
