Quit Smoking with Hartlepool's New Stop Smoking Service
If you live in Hartlepool and you're looking to quit smoking, did you know you can now get improved specialist support to help you stub it out for good?
Hartlepool Borough Council has commissioned North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust and Hartlepool and Stockton Health to deliver a new Hartlepool Stop Smoking Service.
Quitting smoking reduces your risk of cancer, lung disease, heart disease and stroke.
After one year, your risk of a heart attack halves compared with a smokers. After 10 years your risk of death from lung cancer falls to half that of a smoker; and after 15 years your risk of a heart attack drops to the same level as someone who has never smoked.
The new service, which compliments existing schemes including specialist support for pregnant women, hospital inpatient advice, and our Community Navigators at the Community Hubs, provides:
- A 12-week support programme (including nicotine replacement therapies and/or e-cigarettes)
- Face-to-face clinics across the country
- Telephone consultations
- Home visits for household patients
- Workplace clinics
