Help is at hand

You are three times more likely to quit smoking with help from a stop smoking service. Free support and resources to help you stop smoking is now available via your GP practice if you live or work in Warwickshire or are registered with a Warwickshire GP.

How we help you:

In partnership with local GP practices, we provide a free 12-week stop smoking support service. This will be tailored to meet your own needs, and may include:

  • Help from a local stop smoking advisor
  • Access to the Smoke Free app
  • Stop smoking medication
  • Stop smoking aids, such as nicotine patches, gum, and vapes (for 18+ years)

Getting ready to quit

Stopping smoking can be tough – but whether you have smoked for four months or forty years, there are health and wellbeing benefits that you will start to see almost immediately.

 

After 48 hours

All carbon monoxide is flushed out. Your lungs are clearing out mucus and your senses of taste and smell are improving.

After 8 hours

Your oxygen levels are recovering, and the harmful carbon monoxide level in your blood will have reduced by half.

After 3 – 9 months

Any coughs, wheezing or breathing problems will be improving as your lung function increases by up to 10%.
