Our stop smoking quiz
Your stop smoking advisor
When you use the service, you’ll get your own advisor. They’ll get to know you and find out what support you want with quitting. You can chat with them via phone or video call, or book face-to-face appointments.
If you have a slip up, your advisor won't judge. Quitting may take a few attempts; all that matters is that you keep on trying.
Your advisor will talk to you about:
- Why you're quitting. Knowing your 'why' and identifying your goals helps you stay focused.
- Habits and cravings. We all have smoking routines, like having a cigarette first thing in the morning, with a cuppa, or with friends at the pub. This is when you'll be most tempted, so they'll help you come up with a plan for what to do.
- Staying motivated. They will cheer you on and help you stay motivated when things are tough.
Get the right stop smoking aids
Your advisor will help you find the right stop smoking product for you. There’s lots of options, including nicotine patches and gum, or free vape starter kits. You're more likely to be successful if you use them.
They will give you a prescription for your stop smoking aids. This means they’re free if you don’t pay for your prescription. If you do pay for your prescription, it’ll be cheaper than buying them yourself.
Set your quit date
Choosing your quit date with your advisor is an important step. This is the day you'll make the switch – saying goodbye to cigarettes and starting to use your stop smoking aids.
Having a clear quit date is crucial for success. It gives you something to work towards and helps prepare you mentally and practically for your smoke-free future.
Your quit date is more than just a date in the calendar – it’s the moment you take control of your health.
