Stop smoking services
There are several stop smoking programmes available on the West Coast.
Smoking cessation service
The service provides:
- free individual sessions
- direct referrals
- cessation programme tailored to meet your needs.
We provide a motivating and supportive environment for you to explore your smoking addiction and to make permanent changes.
Up to date information on ways to quit and medications that are proven to help.
How it works
We help you explore the reasons you smoke and support you in making positive lifestyle changes to become smokefree for life.
Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) and other medications may help you through the withdrawals, making it easier to quit.
This combined approach has been proven to be more effective to those ready to make this important change in their lives.
