How can I quit smoking or vaping?

We’re here to help if you want to quit smoking or vaping!  

You're three times more likely to quit with support from local stop smoking service. 

Free support is available to anyone 12 years or older who lives or works in Coventry or Warwickshire, or is registered with a Coventry or Warwickshire GP. Visit our local stop smoking service page to access these services.  

• Ask friends and family to support you. Choose people who you can be honest with, and who'll be honest with you.   
• Enlist your friends - Make a deal with friends who also want to quit to support each other.  
• Prepare excuses for saying no - It can be difficult to tell friends you’re stopping smoking, so prepare something ready to say when you're offered a cigarette.  
• Do your best to stay away from alcohol, coffee, sugar, and sweets. Studies have shown that these (especially alcohol) can stimulate cigarette cravings.
