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 for free.

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.
