How It Works
Initial Quit Consultation
A 30-minute consultation to discuss your smoking history, previous quit attempts, triggers, and to measure your carbon monoxide level. Together you set a quit date and agree the most appropriate NRT or medication.
Quit Date
You start your quit attempt on the agreed date, supported by your chosen NRT or Varenicline. The first two weeks are the hardest — weekly check-ins begin.
Weekly Follow-Ups (12 weeks)
Regular short appointments to check your CO level (confirming you've quit or measuring progress), discuss cravings and triggers, adjust NRT dose, and provide motivational support.
Completion and Relapse Prevention
At 12 weeks, if you've quit successfully, you'll receive guidance on long-term maintenance, managing high-risk situations, and what to do if you slip.
