Smoking Cessation - PCN Priority

Stopping smoking is one of the best things you can do for your health, whatever your age or how long you have smoked. Quitting reduces the risk of heart disease, stroke, lung disease and cancer, while improving breathing, circulation, taste and smell.

It also protects family and friends from second-hand smoke and can save a considerable amount of money. Giving up can be difficult, but you do not have to manage alone. Professional advice, nicotine-replacement treatments and stop-smoking medicines can improve your chances of success.
