Stop smoking advice
There are so many benefits to stopping smoking such as improved taste and smell, increased energy levels as well as the benefit to your pocket.
Quitting increases your chances of living a longer and healthier life and it instantly reduces your risk of serious illness due to smoking-related diseases, such as lung cancer and heart disease.
When you stop smoking, the benefits to your health begin within 20 minutes, and as your body starts to return to normal you will start to feel healthier and notice the difference.
In addition to the health benefits, there are lifestyle benefits too. For starters, think of the money you will save. If you smoke 20 cigarettes a day, quitting could save you over £2,000 a year!
The NHS offers free and confidential advice and support for people who want to quit it. If you also use products such as patches or gum to manage your cravings, you are up to four times more likely to successfully go smokefree!
If you are serious about quitting, Bury Stop Smoking Service can arrange for you to meet with a trained advisor who will help you to put your plan to stop smoking into action, and stay on track. The service offers either group or individual support and hold sessions in a range of venues at times to suit you.
