Smoking
Support available in Stockton-on-Tees
Stockton has a Specialist Stop Smoking Service which is delivered by North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust. They offer free, friendly, non-judgemental support and advice. A stop smoking advisor can offer support for 12 weeks including free stop smoking medication (if you get free prescriptions) and a vape offer. The support is available for anyone 12 years and older.
The 5 to 19 service can offer brief health education. The service is currently going through a review.
Service users who are attending Change, Grow, Live are offered the opportunity to attend one of the regular stop smoking clinics, where they will be assessed by one of the nurses or coordinators who have been specifically trained by our local stop smoking service. They also offer the swap to stop (vape) offer.
