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 GP's.

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 Champix, Zyban and/or Nicotine Replacement Therapy, all 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 you keep attending the weekly appointments to ensure the best possible chance of success.

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

Call us on 0800 085 6258 and we can advise you on where to find your nearest advisor.
