Stop Smoking Service

That's not a marketing line, it's the NHS's own figure. Smokers who quit with structured support and treatment are around three times as likely to stop for good as those relying on willpower alone. The combination of one-to-one behavioural support and the right medication tackles both halves of the addiction: the habit and the nicotine.

If you've tried to quit before and it didn't stick, that's normal. Most successful quitters needed several attempts, and each attempt with proper support has better odds than the last.

NRT comes in more forms than most people realise: patches, gum, lozenges, inhalators, and mouth or nasal sprays. They work differently. Patches deliver a steady background level of nicotine, while gum, sprays and lozenges deal with sudden cravings.

Your advisor will match products to how you smoke. For heavier smokers, combining a patch with a fast-acting product is often the most effective approach, something you won't figure out from a supermarket shelf.

At your first consultation, we map out your smoking pattern (when, why, and how much) and build a quit plan around your triggers, including a quit date. Follow-up appointments, usually weekly or fortnightly, keep you on track: reviewing how you're coping, adjusting your NRT, and problem-solving the situations most likely to trip you up.

Because we're open until 10pm every day, your check-ins can happen after work, when willpower is lowest and support matters most.
