For less dependant smokers, or those who are unable to attend the Specialist Smokers' Clinics, there are a number of specially trained health care professionals throughout the community, who can provide one-to-one support to smokers who want to quit smoking. These include pharmacists, practice nurses, health visitors and GPs.

Once the nearest Smoking Cessation Advisor has been located, smokers simply need to call the advisor and make a date for their initial session. Advice will be given on Zyban and/or Nicotine Replacement Therapy, both of which will require a prescription from your GP, and a quit date will be set.

Following quit day, further one-to-one support will be available for up to four weeks - the main withdrawal phase of the quitting period. It is important that quitters keep the weekly appointments to ensure the best possible chance of success.

As at the Specialist Smokers' Clinics, Smoking Cessation Advisors will take carbon monoxide readings at the beginning of each session, to motivate quitters and monitor abstinence.
