How Does Stop Smoking Treatment Work?
Why Quit Smoking?
Smoking is one of the leading causes of preventable illness in the UK. It significantly increases your risk of serious conditions, including various cancers, heart disease, stroke and respiratory disease such as COPD. Quitting can improve your health and life expectancy at any age, and our pharmacy team can discuss support tailored to your individual circumstances.
What Happens To My Body?
The benefits of stopping smoking can begin quickly. From better breathing and increased energy levels to improvements in smell, taste and oral hygiene, your body can begin responding after you quit.
Medication Safety
Stopping smoking can change how some regular medicines work in your body, as tobacco smoke affects the way certain drugs are processed. As part of your consultation, your pharmacist will review your current medicines and make any adjustments needed to keep you safe while you quit.
Monitoring & Ongoing Support
Ongoing support includes regular consultations and carbon monoxide testing to help track your progress, address any challenges and maintain your motivation.
Whether you smoke regularly or only occasionally, our team can provide supportive, non-judgemental guidance throughout your journey.
Is This For You?
Our Stop Smoking Service can support you whether you're ready to set a quit date, still considering your options, or simply want to cut down. The information below can help you decide if this service is right for you.
Unsure where to start? Speak to our pharmacist about the support available to help you quit.
Treatment Options
We can offer a range of licensed stop-smoking treatments, including Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) such as patches, gum and inhalators, as well as tablets including varenicline, cytisinicline and bupropion. Your pharmacist will discuss which option may be most suitable for you, taking into account your health, previous quit attempts and personal preferences.
Medication works best when combined with behavioural support. Alongside any treatment, your pharmacist will provide regular one-to-one behavioural support to help you manage cravings, build coping strategies and stay motivated throughout your quit attempt.
