Sheffield NHS Stop Smoking Service can help you
It is a fact that stopping smoking is the best thing you can do not only for your own body’s health, but because of the dangers of second hand smoke, for the health of your family too.
If you are ready to quit, the Burngreave area has advisers at Pitsmoor Surgery, Wicker Pharmacy and Swift Pharmacy (Gower Street) as well as throughout the city in GP practices, pharmacies, dental practices and community centres. (Interpreting services are available)
Support at Burngreave Children’s Centre
If you are unsure about quitting and would like to know more about what the service can offer then come along to the Burngreave Children’s Centre, Spital Street, on Thursdays 1:30pm until 2:30pm, starting from the 3rd of July to chat to a qualified Stop Smoking Adviser.
There will be no pressure – just information and advice to prepare you to quit.
If you would like to chat to someone before attending please telephone Razia Bibi or Jackie Towers on the freephone number 0800 068 4490.
You may have considered quitting before but have not had the information or support to make a quit attempt. Let this be the year that you succeed!
FREE friendly and confidential service at Quit-Stop
Sheffield NHS Stop Smoking Service (run by South West Yorkshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust) is a FREE friendly and confidential service, helping over 2000 Sheffield smokers to quit last year. We pride ourselves on being an inclusive service and welcome members of all communities.
The service has trained advisers providing free advice and information such as tips for beating cravings and support to help you stay quit for good. This includes information on what medications are available and our advisers are usually able to give you a voucher for Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) e.g. patches and gum, which means there is no need for a GP appointment.
If you do not pay for your prescriptions your NRT is free.
We also run a drop in service at the Quit Stop in the City Centre, opposite Sheffield City Council First Point at Howden House, with an Urdu and Punjabi speaker working there most Thursdays.
If you require an interpreter in any other language or cannot get into the shop on Thursdays please contact us on our freephone number 0800 068 4490.
