Lynne O’Hare, nurse specialist – Quit Your Way, NHS Lanarkshire, said: “The app is a fantastic add on for people looking to quit smoking to access for further support and motivation.
“It comes with some great features that can be accessed as much or as little as you need, including daily check ins to keep motivation high.
“Previously with the scheme, staff were required to access their local Lanarkshire pharmacy however, they now have the option to receive their Nicotine Replacement Therapy posted to their home if they would prefer.
“I would urge anyone thinking of stopping smoking to give the app a go!”
