From April 2014, the way in which Stop Smoking Services in Sheffield are delivered will be changing.
The current community based team which includes Burngreave, Firvale and Page Hall will finish at the end of March but there is still time to access this service as referrals will continue to be taken up to the end of January 2014.
Many people who have used the Community Stop Smoking Service have initially lacked confidence or been fearful about taking the step to stop smoking. However, with the right treatment and the weekly support sessions they have often found the process better than they expected and have gained confidence through their success.
Here’s what a local Burngreave resident recently had to say:
“Try to quit – there’s nothing better than stopping smoking, especially for someone like me who was a heavy smoker (60 per day). It changes your life. The support has been spot on and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to quit.”
