Support from Quit Your Way

Through Quit Your Way, you can receive free support from a stop smoking advisor.

Your first appointment is usually half an hour. The advisor will ask you to fill in forms to sign up to the service, and can help with this if required.

The advisor will provide support and discuss which stop smoking products would best help your quit attempt. You will either receive your products:

  • there and then, if attending in person
  • by post, if you are receiving telephone support

You have the option to:

  • set a quit date there and then, or
  • cut down to quit (over a maximum of four weeks)

Follow on sessions are usually 15 minutes, weekly or fortnightly. You will receive support until you feel confident enough to stay stopped on your own.

Quit Your Way run Stop Smoking Clinics in various locations across Ayrshire. The clinics run in a variety of ways such as:

  • group sessions

Saving money by stopping smoking

Quitting smoking really does lead to a richer life – in more ways than one.

Support from your local pharmacy

You can pop into your local pharmacy, who will provide free weekly support and free stop smoking products to help you quit smoking.

The pharmacy will provide you with 12 weeks’ support and stop smoking products.

This service is for people who are highly motivated and confident about stopping smoking. If you are struggling and feel you need a little more help, you can attend a drop in session or one to one appointment for extra support, even when you are attending the pharmacy scheme.

In the first week, you will sign up to the service and a member of the pharmacy team will ask you to blow into a carbon monoxide monitor.

With the pharmacy service, you are expected to set a quit date and remain smoke free.

All pharmacies in Ayrshire and Arran provide support although opening times of pharmacies may vary.
