Want to stop smoking? Free Support and Resources available
We are delighted to support NHS Forth Valley on providing support to help people to stop smoking.
Here is some information from NHS's Quit Your Own Way project.
If you want to give up smoking but don’t know where to start then don’t worry – help is at hand and it’s never too late to stop. Forth Valley stop smoking service can help you succeed. You’re twice as likely to stop smoking successfully with the right support.
We know that smoking is bad for our health and can increase the risk of developing serious health conditions; however, it can also have a negative impact on our mental health.
In addition, the current cost of living is affecting many of us, making it difficult to make ends meet. Do you know if you smoke 20 cigarettes per day you could be spending at least £270 per month on cigarettes? Use the quit calculator tool to see how much you spend:
