Don’t Wait

Don’t Wait to stop smoking

Smoking increases your risks of heart disease, diabetes, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, stroke and cancer.

However, your health improves from the moment you stop smoking – so please, don’t wait.

NHS Lanarkshire’s free stop smoking service, Quit Your Way, is here to support you to stop smoking, in a way that works for you.

It’s never too late to stop smoking.

Feedback

“Quit Your Way nurses were exceptional with the encouragement and support I was given when trying to stop smoking. I am a 65 year old woman who has smoked from the age of 15, I have tried before to stop smoking and managed to stop for a little while, then started again after a few months.

I have not had a cigarette for 200 days and feel that I can now call myself an ex-smoker and it’s thanks to all the team in Lanarkshire. I have to give a very big thank for your help with delivering and answering any questions, in particularly I need to thank Kate for all her support and encouragement through all it all.”

“I’ve never been one for a type of support group, I’ve always dealt with things myself.

My GP put me onto the smoking cessation group, and I thought I’ll give it a bash. I went and all the people were really, really friendly. I could tell they were there just to support you and immediately made me feel comfortable, I was put at ease, any reservations I had about that type of group just instantly disappeared.

It’s fantastic.”
