My Local Pharmacist
We’ve trained pharmacists across both the
City and Hackney to help you stop smoking. You do not have to make
an appointment just simply pop in and ask to see their stop smoking
advisor.
“I’ve been a stop smoking advisor now for over 10
years and I truly believe my intervention to help people to stop
smoking is as life changing for my clients as it is for me. So
consider your local pharmacist when thinking about stopping
smoking; you may already know him/her, they are well trained and
experienced to help you stop smoking with relative ease. If you
find it tough going during the programme they are there to support
to overcome your difficulty.”

Pharmacy
My local GP
Book an appointment with either your
practice nurse or healthcare assistant at your GP practice to get
advice and weekly support.
"We would love to help you to stop smoking and
have better health, more money in your pocket and a positive
outlook on life! We are here to help, not be
critical."
