The Stop Smoking Service
There is a choice of Stop Smoking Providers in Herefordshire.
Did you know that you can access help and support to stop smoking at GP surgeries, at most Halo Leisure centres and at most pharmacies in Herefordshire.
Find out where your nearest adviser is. If you need help to access your nearest service see contacts.
With stop smoking support from an advisor you are four times more likely to be successful at quitting than if you go it alone.
Choose the RIGHT method for you
Did you know there are 8 different treatments available to help you quit?
They really do work - they help you to manage the withdrawal symptoms and they don't contain any of the poisons like tar or carbon monoxide, that cigarettes do, so they don't cause any of the serious health problems associated with smoking, such as cancer. Your advisor can help you to decide which product might suit you best.
What are the benefits of Quitting?
When Smoking Stops, the benefits begin:
| 20 minutes | Your blood pressure and pulse return to normal |
| 24 hours | Carbon monoxide has left your body |
| 2 days | Your body is now nicotine free |
| 3 days | Your lungs improve and breathing becomes easier |
| 2 weeks | Blood circulation improves throughout your body |
| 3 weeks | Withdrawal problems ease |
| 3-9 months | Coughs, wheezing and breathing problems improve |
And you save money - calculate how much you could save
If you have read this far, it means you are already thinking about giving up. That's great - you've taken the first step. So what's next? Choose your stop smoking service provider and get in contact.
