STOP SMOKING SERVICE

Our trained pharmacy team are here to help support you when you have made the decision to give up smoking. Evidence shows that you are more likely to stop smoking through a support service then trying to do it alone. We can help signpost you to local NHS providers or if you prefer we can advise you what is available over the counter to help support your quit attempt.

 

Smoking is the leading preventable cause of death worldwide, and quitting smoking significantly reduces the risk of dying from tobacco-related diseases such as heart disease and lung cancer.

If you want to stop smoking, taking varenicline (trade name Champix®) is likely to more than double your chance of success. . Varenicline, is a prescription medication used to treat nicotine addiction. It both reduces cravings for and decreases the pleasurable effects of cigarettes and other tobacco products. Varenicline is available without the need of a prescription at Lowdham Pharmacy.
