Why Quit Smoking?

There are both physical and mental health benefits to stopping smoking. Even if you have smoked for 40 years+ it is never too late to stop and reap the benefits!

• Within weeks of quitting, you will be able to breathe better, gain more energy, and your sense of taste and smell will improve!
• Non-smokers have a decreased risk of dementia, certain cancers and many other serious health conditions.
• Smoking can age us, adding fine lines to our complexion, as well as causing gum disease which can lead to tooth loss.

The average smoker could save £140 per month (£1680 per year!) by quitting smoking. Think of what else you could spend this money on.

We know it is not always easy. It takes the average person over 30 times to quit smoking. The motivations to quit are unique to each individual which is why our one-to-one smoking therapists can help you to focus on what is important to you.

Some reasons people state for stopping smoking are to have children, making physical activity easier, improve their sex lives or saving money. Take that first step!

Got a Question? Below are a few frequently asked questions. Get in touch if you want to know something that's not here.

Don’t e-cigarettes just replace cigarettes with something else harmful?

There is evidence to show that e-cigarettes containing nicotine can effectively help people stop smoking, whilst reducing the level of toxins they are exposed to.

E-cigarettes are used by the service as one of several options, including behaviour change support and Nicotine Replacement Therapies.

We work with a reputable supplier, to ensure consistency in our offer and approach

If I’ve stopped smoking and still use e-cigarettes, can I still access the service?

Currently, the service is only on offer to people who use tobacco and are seeking to use behaviour sessions in combination with nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) products and e-cigarettes to stop smoking

How do we support pregnant women?

Our stop smoking specialists would work closely with you and your midwife to agree the best support plan for you.

This may include offering Nicotine Replacement Therapy products and offering face to face sessions in setting that work best for you, including the local Midwifery services and wards.

We may also use carbon monoxide breath tests and offer you incentives such as vouchers to support with your quit journey.

Smoking and pregnancy: what are the risks?

Protecting your unborn child from smoking, means protecting them from over 4,000 chemicals (including carbon monoxide) that are released from every cigarette that you smoke.

Cigarettes can restrict the essential oxygen supply to your baby. As a result, their heart must beat harder every time you smoke. Other risks are:

- Complications in pregnancy and birth, including baby being born too early and facing risks of being premature
- Stillbirth
- Baby more likely to be born with a low birth rate, which means they are more likely to have problems keeping warm and more likely to get infections
- Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), also known as "cot death"
- Your baby is more likely to suffer from asthma and other serious illness in later life.

I’m pregnant. Can I use e-cigarettes to stop smoking?

We are currently not offering e-cigarettes to pregnant clients as more research is required in this area.
