Calderdale Stop Smoking Service offers free help and support for smokers who want to go smokefree.
More than 1000 people give up every year with the help of the stop smoking service.
Going smokefree is the single most effective way you can improve your health. That’s because smoking is currently the UK’s leading cause of preventable deaths, resulting in around 106,000 deaths a year from cancer, heart disease, lung disease and other causes, such as a stroke. The body has an amazing ability to heal itself. The minute you stop smoking every organ in your body starts repairing damage and the risk of serious illness is reduced, so it’s never too late to stop.
If you smoke around friends and family, you could be affecting their health too through ‘passive smoking’, also known as second-hand smoke.
We offer free group or individual sessions at convenient times in the Calderdale area. We can give you practical advice and the right medication to help you stop smoking in just 6 weeks, and stay stopped.
We offer help for pregnant women and their famility from our specialist pregnancy advisor.
We can also work with businesses to help employees to go smokefree. If you are an employer in Calderdale, and would like to know more about this free service, call the number below.
