NHS Stop Smoking Support
Stopping smoking is one of the best things you can do for your health — but it’s also one of the hardest habits to break. That’s why the NHS Stop Smoking Service exists: to give you structured, expert-led support that makes quitting easier and far more successful. At Christchurch Clinics, we deliver this service locally, offering friendly, professional help tailored to you.
How the NHS Stop Smoking Service Helps
You’re up to three times more likely to quit successfully with NHS support than if you try on your own. Our team provides a combination of personalised guidance and access to effective treatments to help you manage cravings and withdrawal.
What We Offer
- A one-to-one consultation with a trained stop smoking advisor
- A personalised quit plan based on your lifestyle, triggers, and goals
- Expert advice on how to manage cravings and cope with withdrawal
- Support using nicotine replacement therapy (patches, gum, lozenges, sprays, etc.)
- Guidance on stop-smoking medications such as varenicline or bupropion (if appropriate)
- Regular check-ins to help you stay on track and motivated
- Carbon monoxide (CO) monitoring to show your progress and improvements in lung health
Why This Support Works
We help you understand your smoking habits, build new routines, and handle the difficult moments with proven strategies. With the right combination of behavioural support and treatment, cravings become easier to manage and your chances of quitting for good significantly increase.
