Stop Smoking Service at Carrington Pharmacy — Quit for Good With Expert Support

Quitting smoking is one of the best decisions you can make for your health, but doing it alone can be challenging. At Carrington Pharmacy, our Stop Smoking Service provides personalised, effective support to help you break the habit for good. Whether you’ve tried to quit before or this is your first attempt, our trained team is here to guide, motivate, and support you every step of the way.

Stopping smoking brings immediate and long-term benefits. From improved breathing to a reduced risk of heart disease, stroke, and cancer, the benefits start within hours of quitting. We’re here to make sure you get there — confidently and successfully.


Why Quit Smoking?

Tobacco is one of the leading causes of preventable illness. Every cigarette contains harmful chemicals that affect your heart, lungs, circulation, and overall wellbeing. Quitting can:

  • Improve breathing and energy levels

  • Reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, and cancer

  • Enhance skin quality and appearance

  • Improve mood and reduce stress levels

  • Save money — thousands of pounds per year in some cases

  • Protect loved ones from second-hand smoke

Whether you’re quitting for your health, your family, or your finances, you’re taking a powerful step forward.


How Our Stop Smoking Service Works

Our Stop Smoking Service at Carrington Pharmacy is designed around you. We offer a structured, supportive programme that increases your chances of success significantly compared to quitting alone.

1. Initial Consultation

Your journey begins with a friendly, confidential consultation with one of our trained smoking cessation advisors. We’ll discuss:

  • Your smoking habits

  • Your past attempts to quit (if any)

  • Your triggers and challenges

  • Your goals and motivations

This helps us personalise your quit plan from day one.

2. Personalised Quit Plan

No two smokers are the same, which is why your quit plan is tailored to your needs. It may include:

  • Setting a quit date

  • Identifying and managing triggers

  • Understanding nicotine cravings

  • Choosing the right nicotine replacement therapy (NRT)

  • Setting realistic and motivating goals

We will work together to ensure that your plan is achievable and aligned with your lifestyle.

3. Weekly Follow-Up Support

Regular support is proven to make quitting more successful. You will receive:

  • Weekly check-ins

  • Motivation and encouragement

  • Guidance on withdrawal symptoms

  • Tracking progress and celebrating milestones

  • Adjustments to your quit plan when needed

We stay with you for the entire journey — from your first step to long-term success.

4. Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT)

As part of your programme, we can supply a range of NRT options, including:

  • Nicotine patches

  • Gum

  • Lozenges

  • Nasal sprays

  • Inhalators

  • Mouth sprays

We’ll help you choose the most effective option for your lifestyle and nicotine dependency.


What to Expect During Your Quitting Journey

Quitting smoking is a journey, and everyone’s experience is different. Some people notice dramatic improvements within days, while others need time to adjust. At Carrington Pharmacy, we help you:

  • Understand nicotine withdrawal

  • Manage cravings

  • Build new habits

  • Reduce stress

  • Stay motivated

We focus on positive progress — not perfection — and provide practical strategies to help you stay on track.
