Quitting smoking is one of the best things you can do for your health. It can improve your breathing, increase your energy levels, reduce your risk of serious illness and help you save money. Many people also find they feel happier and less stressed once they have broken free from their dependence on nicotine.

 

The good news is that you don’t have to do it alone. Local stop smoking services provide expert support from trained advisors who understand the challenges of quitting and can help you find the approach that works best for you. Research shows that people are significantly more likely to quit successfully with professional support than by relying on willpower alone.

 

Across Sussex, services offer a range of support options designed to fit around your lifestyle, including one-to-one appointments, telephone support, digital tools and access to proven quit aids such as nicotine replacement therapy, patches, gum and vaping products where appropriate.

 

There’s no judgement and no pressure. Many people make several attempts before they quit for good, and every quit attempt brings you closer to success. The important thing is taking that first step and accessing the support available to you.

 

If you're ready to improve your health, save money and enjoy the benefits of a smoke-free future, help is available right now through your local council's stop smoking service.
