Five hundred people in Lanarkshire have quit smoking with the support of NHS Lanarkshire’s Quit Your Way service, since the start of April.
When it comes to quitting smoking, everyone is different, but giving up is not something people have to do on their own.
Quit Your Way is a free NHS Lanarkshire stop smoking service, where there is a variety of options available offering friendly and free support, advice and access to treatments.
Shirley Mitchell, Tobacco Control Programme Manager, NHS Lanarkshire said: “The coronavirus outbreak has changed daily lives for us all, that’s why we are so proud of the success these people of Lanarkshire have achieved by quitting during lockdown.
“NHS Lanarkshire is continuing to support residents to quit smoking during the fight against coronavirus, and if anyone is thinking of quitting smoking, Quit Your Way offers specialist stop smoking support in a way that works for you.”
Quit Your Way can be contacted Monday – Friday from 9am until 5pm.
