Help For Smokers Who Want To Quit

Almost three-quarters of adult smokers say they want to stop smoking. There is excellent free support available from the NHS:

• Local NHS Stop Smoking Services - call the 01380 733891 (office hours) or visit their website for more information.
• NHS National Smoking Helpline - individuals can speak to a specialist adviser by calling 0800 169 0 169 (lines are open daily from 7.00 a.m. to 11.00 p.m.)
• National smokefree website

Employers can speak to their NHS Stop Smoking Service about support for their employees during or outside working hours.

New guidance from the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) will advise employers on how to help employees stop smoking. Visit the National Institute for Clinical Excellence website for more information.
