There are a number of ways to attempt quitting smoking:

  • With one-to-one help from a local stop smoking service - services offer one-to-one support and free medication for up to 12 weeks to help in a quit attempt. Research suggests this is the most effective way of quitting - with smokers being 4 times more likely to successfully quit than without support.

  • With the help of a smartphone app - we recommend you use the NHS Smokefree app
  • By going it alone - many people simply go 'cold turkey' or use electronic cigarettes as an aid to quit.
