Stopping smoking is incredibly challenging and we believe that anyone who makes the initial effort to do so should have access to as much help and support as possible.
Smokers can quadruple their chances of success if they combine nicotine replacement therapy with stop smoking support services, such as our clinics.
In the last year, we have co-ordinated over 30 clinics and have helped 50% of those attending to stop smoking within four weeks. Getting help and support is the most important thing you can do to make your quit attempt a success.
Our award winning smoking cessation service is supported by the Eastern Health and Social Services Board and is free and confidential. Weekly smoking cessation advice clinics are provided in a number of GP practices as well as leisure centres, community centres and workplaces, at a time convenient to smokers who want to give up.
The clinics are relaxed and informal. Smokers and ex-smokers from all walks of life have an opportunity to share their experiences, quit attempts and helpful hints and tips on how to stay stopped. It’s amazing the small things you can learn from others that become so significant when you’re at home on your own with the urge for a cigarette.
Anyone wanting to attend the stop smoking support clinics can either be referred by their GP or can contact Bernie Neeson at UCF (028 9066 3281) for information on their nearest support clinic.
