Reviewing your progress and adjusting your support where appropriate
Having professional support alongside appropriate stop-smoking treatment can improve your chances of successfully quitting.
Depending on your individual circumstances and the NHS service available to you, our healthcare professional can discuss suitable treatment options.

Nicotine patches
Gum
Lozenges
Inhalators
Mouth sprays
Other stop-smoking medicines may also be available where clinically appropriate and through the relevant NHS pathway.

Your NHS stop-smoking support is free for eligible patients.
Whether stop-smoking products or medicines are provided free of charge can depend on the NHS service or local scheme through which you receive them.
Some treatments may be supplied free of charge. In other cases, an NHS prescription charge may apply, unless you're entitled to free NHS prescriptions.
Our pharmacy team will explain the treatment options available to you and any applicable charges before treatment is supplied.
At the start of the service, a member of our trained pharmacy team will discuss your smoking history, previous quit attempts and what you would like to achieve.
Together, we'll develop a personalised approach to quitting and discuss any stop-smoking treatments that may help you manage cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
We'll continue to support you throughout your quit attempt with regular follow-ups, helping you monitor your progress, manage challenges and stay motivated.
