Smoking Cessation at Rowlands Castle

Key Benefits

Many patients have already successfully given up smoking, by attending this smoking cessation clinic. Willpower is still required, but if you have this essential ingredient, then having the support of a trained nurse increases your success by ten-fold compared to "going it alone".

Where how and When?

Counselling for your first session is on a Friday morning - yes, it's in working hours, but if you are serious about giving up, then employers are usually extremely supportive as once an "ex smoker" payback is in increased productivity ( no stops for fags) and a healthier employee.

At the initial meeting options and support mechanisms are discussed, medication to help with your nicotine addiction is also chosen. Follow up is arranged - this can be via telephone or in the surgery.
