NHS Stop Smoking Services have helped over 200,00 smokers in the North East to stop smoking in the last decade. And if you're one of the 7 out of 10 smokers wanting to quit, there's loads of support out there. 

Did you know that you're up to four times more likely to quit successfully using an NHS Stop Smoking Service than with willpower alone? Or that 9 out of 10 people who use an NHS Stop Smoking Service say they would recommend them to anyone trying to quit?

You're more likely to quit with an NHS-approved aid – Nicotine Replacement Therapy, Varenicline or Bupropion. And if you don't want to see your GP, you could ask your pharmacist. They can advise on products and support to help you achieve your aim.
