Smoking

If you smoke and want to stop, One You East Sussex offers free, friendly support to help you quit for good. You don’t have to do it alone— their expert advisers are here to make it easier. These services staffed by expert advisers provide a range of proven methods to help you quit.

Why get support?

Trying to quit on your own can be tough, but with help, you’re up to 3 times more likely to succeed! Our advisers know what works and will support you every step of the way.

What Your Local Stop Smoking Service Offer:

• One-to-one support: You’ll meet with a Stop Smoking Adviser who understands what you’re going through.
• Flexible sessions: Come to a local clinic (GP surgery, shop, or even a mobile bus) or join by phone or video call.
• Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT): Things like patches, gum, or sprays can make quitting easier. We’ll help you choose what’s right for you. (Some treatments aren’t available if you’re under 18, but they will explain your options.)
• Weekly check-ins: For the first month, we’ll keep in touch to help you stay on track. After that, they will check in less often—but they are always here if you need them.
• Carbon monoxide breath test: This shows how your body is recovering after quitting—pretty cool motivation!

What happens at your first appointment?

1. Talk about why you smoke and why you want to quit.
2. Decide on a quit date (usually within a week).
