Stop Smoking Treatments
Some people find nicotine cravings the hardest thing to handle about quitting.
If that sounds like you, then no need to worry. There are plenty of Nicotine Replacement Therapy products out there and they can give you the extra support you need to beat the addiction. In fact, like the other licensed stop smoking medicines, when they are used in combination with the one to one support offered at your local Stop Smoking Service you're three times more likely to remain a quitter.
All of the products detailed are available on prescription, making them cost effective. They are even better value when a pre-payment certificate is purchased. This is £30.25 for three months for as many prescriptions as you like.
E-cigarettes
We support clients who want to use an electronic-cigarette (e-cigarette) to help them quit smoking and welcome smokers considering using an e-cigarette to come to the service for behavioural support.
Digital apps
What do the experts say?
When used in combination with other quit smoking supports (NRT or prescribed medication, e-cigarettes, or motivational support), health experts say digital apps can be a useful way to help you give up cigarettes for good.
Why use apps?
A digital app can give you instant support whenever you need it.
They can help you plan ahead and are somewhere to turn to quickly when you feel the urge to smoke or find yourself struggling.
Which apps work?
Each digital app has different features to help you stop smoking. Some tips and resources may work better for you than others. ORCHA provides an independent review of digital health apps.
From personalised quit plans to motivation boards digital apps are a great way to help keep your quit journey on track.
Combining your choices
You don’t have to rely on just one method to quit. You are more likely to quit smoking by mixing and matching personal support like motivational support from a health advisor with NRT, a prescription medication or e-cigarettes. What would work best for you?
