Smoking cessation

Stoping smoking is probably the most important change to your health you can make. If you stop you will feel healthier and be able to do more, not only now but later on in life too. With the average price of a packet of cigarettes now being £12.73 your wallet or purse will also feel healthier!

Your local pharmacist can discuss your needs and give you advice on medications that can help you stop. On some pharmacy’s websites you can also use an online tool to establish what can help, and have medications delivered to your home with no delivery charge.

You will have to pay for some of the medications that they recommend, and others will need a prescription from ourselves.
