Be Smoke Free - Manchester
How we help you
We will help you find your own way of stopping smoking. You'll talk to a dedicated stop smoking nurse who will listen to you and help you make a plan for how you'll quit.
We'll offer you free products to reduce your nicotine cravings, like patches, gum and e-cigarettes. We support anyone who lives in Manchester or who is registered with a Manchester GP.
Your stop smoking journey
When you join the service, you'll chat with a tobacco addiction nurse. They'll get to know you and find out what support you want with quitting.
The process is:
- You will have an initial, 30-minute telephone assessment. If you prefer, you can arrange a face-to-face assessment in our Ancoats office.
- You will then have follow-up calls every two weeks. This lasts for 12 weeks.
- We deliver the nicotine replacement therapy (patches/gums), vapes and/or medication to you. You don't need to go anywhere to collect it!
- You don't need a prescription or a GP appointment. Our specialist nursing team arranges everything.
Get free stop smoking aids
There are many different stop smoking aids, including nicotine patches, gum and e-cigarettes/vapes. You're more likely to be successful if you use them and you can get them for free as part of your quit plan. We will help you find the right ones for you if you're not sure which to choose.
