Stop Smoking – Free Support in Staffordshire

Why quit smoking?

Stopping smoking is one of the best things you can do for your health. It lowers your risk of cancer, heart disease and stroke, and improves your breathing and energy levels. Quitting also saves you money – imagine what you could do with the extra cash!
Even if you’ve smoked for years, quitting now will still bring huge benefits.

Top tips to quit

Start by setting a date to quit and stick to it. Planning ahead is key – think about times when you usually smoke, such as after meals or with a coffee, and plan something different for those moments.
Using stop smoking aids like nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), e-cigarettes or prescription tablets can make quitting easier and more successful than relying on willpower alone.
