“Time to quit” – John’s story 

John was referred to the Smoke Free Life service by his GP after having a stroke and an aortic aneurysm. He had never tried to quit before but was now ready due to his health issues.

Our fully qualified Health Coaches will provide you with one-to-one personalised support to help you make a quit plan and set a quit date. Our Health Coaches can advise on nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), and prescribe quit aids such as gums, patches and inhalators.

“It was a habit, and I had smoked for years. But because of recent health issues, I wanted to quit and stay quit. Switching to a vape and the chats with my Health Coach helped me the most. The weekly check ins really helped at the start and the constant support made it easier for me to stick to my quit plan

Our service offers remote appointments via the telephone, face time, teams or zoom. Face to face support could be offered on an individualised basis based on your needs.

“I have had no issues whilst on the service and have appreciated all the support that I have received. I have stopped smoking for 12 weeks and I have been able to save money since quitting which I now use to buy things I need instead of buying cigarettes.
