We offer a range of proven methods to help you stop smoking, including nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), vaping guidance, and behavioural support. Our approach is tailored to your individual needs, ensuring you have the best chance of success.

NRT Patches

These deliver a slower and steady dose of nicotine through your skin. You can wear a 24-hour patch all the time, to help with cravings when you wake up, or a 16-hour patch for while you’re awake. Patches come in different strengths. If you’re a heavier smoker, you should start with a higher strength.

Nicotine patches are most effective when you use them with a faster-acting nicotine product (like gum or spray) to help with cravings.

NRT Gum

You chew the gum and then rest it on the inside of your cheek to deliver nicotine through the lining of your mouth and throat. Gum is available in different strengths and gives short bursts of nicotine fast.

NRT Lozenges

You can suck a lozenge and then rest it inside your cheek to deliver nicotine through the lining of your mouth and throat. Lozenges come in different strengths and give short bursts of nicotine fast.

E-cigarettes & vapes

Our coaches can provide personalised advice on using vaping to stop smoking. We can help you choose the right device and e-liquids, and provide ongoing support.

Vaping involves using electronic device (e-cigarette) to inhale a vapour that typically contains nicotine, flavourings, and other substances. It can be a less harmful alternative to smoking traditional cigarettes.

Vaping is not risk free. It is important to remember that vaping is an aid to stopping smoking, and the goal is to become nicotine free. Talk to your Stop for life Sandwell coach for further information.
