Stop Smoking Clinic

We offer a Stop Smoking Cessation Clinic to offer support to our patients who would like to give up smoking.

To find out more about this, please book an appointment with Mawara Kazim, our Health Care Assistant.

It is never too late to stop smoking.

A 20-a-day smoker can save £2,500 a year by stopping!

How to stop smoking

• Set a realistic date and stick to it
• Use Nicotine Replacement Therapy(NRT). Your pharmacist can help you decide which product to use, or take Zyban if your doctor has prescribed it.
• Don't have just one cigarette because it usually leads back to regular smoking.
• Get rid of all unused cigarettes and throw away your ashtrays.
• Ask people npt to smoke around you and never buy, hold or light cigarettes for others.
• Tell every one you are stopping - you are going to need their support.
• Do something active when the urge hits.
• Change your routine so you have something else to do at times and places you used to smoke.
• Remember that it will probably take you a while to get used to being without cigarettes. It get's easier as time goes on!
• For more information please make an appointment with the nurses or the doctor.
