Quitting smoking is one of the best things you can do for your health. Your body starts to benefit soon after you stop, and reaching 28 days smoke-free makes you 5 times more likely to quit for good.
You don't have to quit alone
There is free support available to help you manage cravings, withdrawal symptoms and triggers. Support can include:
- Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), such as patches, gum, sprays and lozenges
- Stop-smoking medicines
- Support from your local Stop Smoking Service
- Advice and encouragement from trained stop-smoking advisers
- The free NHS Quit Smoking app and online tools
If you've tried to quit before, don't be discouraged. Every quit attempt is a step towards becoming smoke-free.
