Choose a healthier lifestyle
Quitting smoking can have a big impact on your health—and the health of those around you. It can increase your life expectancy, improve your wellbeing, and you’ll notice the benefits soon after stopping. No matter how long you’ve been smoking, it’s never too late to quit.
How can this service help me quit smoking?
Boots offers access to the NHS Stop Smoking Service, where you can receive one-to-one support and, if suitable, stop smoking medicines to make quitting easier.
Do I need an appointment to use the service?
In most cases, you can simply speak to a pharmacist in store. They’ll explain what’s available in your area and let you know if you need to book a consultation.
What kind of support will I get?
You’ll receive ongoing, personalised support. This could include setting goals, tracking progress, discussing challenges, and getting practical tips to help you stay on track.
I’ve been smoking for years—is it still worth trying to stop?
Yes! It’s never too late to quit. Stopping smoking brings health benefits at any age, even if you’ve smoked for many years.
How does quitting smoking improve my health?
Giving up smoking improves circulation, breathing, and skin health. It also lowers your risk of heart attack, stroke, and many other serious illnesses.
Will using the NHS Stop Smoking Service really increase my chances of quitting?
Yes—research shows you’re up to four times more likely to stop smoking with NHS support compared to going it alone.
What are some of the benefits I’ll notice after I stop smoking?
