Smoking

Are you ready to quit?

Seventy per cent of smokers say they would like to quit. We know giving up smoking is not easy, but it is possible.

You are four times more likely to quit with the help of our free NHS Stop Smoking Service where we offer you support, advice and a range of nicotine
replacement therapies.

We offer a free service to all smokers aged 12 and above, so when you feel the time is right to go smoke free, call the NHS Bristol Stop Smoking service
on 0117 984 1650.

For more information on why you should quit, what support is out there and success stories, visit the Bristol Stop Smoking website.
