How effective are NHS Stop Smoking Services?
Evidence shows that you’re more likely to stop smoking for good if you get the right support. In fact, you’re up to four times more likely to give up if you use your local NHS Stop Smoking Service combined with Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT), than with willpower alone. Local NHS Stop Smoking Services offer free, specialist advice tailored to your individual needs. Most services offer both group sessions and one-to-one support, and can help you get nicotine replacement products such as nicotine gum and patches on prescription.
