The Sheffield NHS Stop Smoking Service has taken to the road this summer to help Sheffield smokers quit.

At the new roadshow smokers are able to book onto a quit programme straight away, and get advice and information from Stop Smoking Advisors.

Smokers still have the opportunity to visit the roadshow on The Moor on 26th August, the Sheffield Fayre on 29th August and Ecclesfield Gala on 5th September.

Malcolm Simpson of the Sheffield NHS Stop Smoking Service said: “ Some people still aren’t aware of the free professional support available to help them quit. The roadshow is a great way of raising awareness of the service and making people feel confident that support is available to help them quit. If they want to join a quit programme they can discuss, face to face, the venue that best suits them.”

Sheffield NHS Stop Smoking Service provides very effective support, provided by specially trained NHS professionals to smokers who want to quit. One of the many programmes available is nicotine replacement products, such as patches, on prescription.

More than half the smokers who commence a quit programme with the NHS Stop Smoking Service become successful quitters, compared to the very low percentage of smokers who quit by themselves.
