Help to stop smoking
Help is on hand for smokers who want to give up.
Lifestyles Services - Stop Smoking Service
This is a free, confidential service that offers
support and advice to any smoker who is registered with a GP in
Stockport or who works in Stockport and would like to give up.
A team of trained stop smoking advisors provide both one-to-one
support and informal group sessions. The service can also give
information on stop smoking support offered by local doctors and
pharmacists. With a central location and clinics out and about in
the community, a comprehensive range of information leaflets and
appointments available six days a week including evenings and
Saturdays, it is flexible enough to suit commuters and shoppers
alike who want help to give up smoking. Practical help is there
for people wanting to give up smoking, including access to
nicotine replacement therapies, such as patches and gum, and Zyban
or Champix. Telephone support is there for people who don't
want to have regular appointments.
