Stop smoking

There are many benefits of quitting smoking and support from a Stop Smoking Adviser increases your chance of stopping for good. North Tyneside Stop Smoking Service offers free support for those who want to quit.

Over the course of 12 weeks, you'll work with your adviser to choose an appropriate treatment, learn how to use the treatment correctly, and come up with a plan tailored to your lifestyle to help you deal with cravings.

As well as accessing local community pharmacies, residents can now book face to face appointments with Stop Smoking Specialists at four different locations across the borough.

The team are working from the White Swan Centre in Killingworth, Northumberland Park Medical centre in Shiremoor, Wallsend Community Hub and Library, and Shields Health Hub in North Shields.

*You must be a resident of North Tyneside and/or registered with a North Tyneside GP to qualify for free support.
