Some people manage to stop smoking easily, but many others find it to be a difficult and confusing time. Our Specialist Advisers are here to help.

What to expect:

You will be asked to complete a confidential questionnaire before your first appointment.

You are not expected to stop smoking before coming to see us.

Your first session will last up to an hour, during this time we will talk to you about your smoking and reasons for wanting to stop.

We will check the level of the poisonous gas carbon monoxide in your body from smoking (this will be repeated each time we see you).

We will explain about Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) and Zyban to help you decide which product to use; then arrange for you to obtain it (note this may not be at the first session). You should not be given more than one or two weeks supply at a time.

Follow up sessions give you the chance to tell us how well you are doing, discuss problems and how to cope in different situations. We will offer support as long as you feel you need it.
