How It Works

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

4

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.
