Would you like support to stop smoking?

Published:

Would you like support to stop smoking? Stopping smoking is the single biggest thing you can do to improve your health. Research shows that two thirds of smokers want to quit, and you are more likely to stop smoking with support than quitting on your own.

As part of this week’s Wellbeing Events co-ordinated by Health, Safety and Wellbeing, Paul Rossiter will be in the Richmond Atrium between 10:00 and 15:00 on Tuesday 24th April 2018 to provide information and help on how to quit smoking. You will be able to:

  • Talk about previous quit attempts and identify areas of weakness/strength to build upon.
  • Discuss addiction and withdrawal symptoms.
  • Obtain advice on stop smoking aids and treatments available, and discuss which options may be most suitable for you.
  • If you are currently a smoker you can obtain help to devise a personal stop smoking programme.
  • Take away free literature and self-help materials.
  • Smokers and non-smokers can be tested for carbon monoxide levels, one of the toxic substances inhaled through smoking, raised CO levels may also result from exposure to second hand smoke.
