Services Database Smoking Cessation Service

The new Camden and Islington Stop Smoking Service offers people who would like to stop smoking the opportunity to access various levels of support suited to their lifestyle and individual preferences. The service is 'e-cigarette friendly' and offers support to people wishing to stop smoking with the help of self-purchased e-cigarettes.

Providers may offer a tier 2 service to any eligible smoker, that is any smoker motivated to quit who is aged 13 years or over and lives, works or studies in Camden or Islington, and/or is registered with a Camden or Islington GP. The tier 2 service consists of evidence-based stop smoking behavioural support and pharmacotherapy (NRT), with the client’s smoking status recorded at 4 weeks (25 – 42 days) after their set quit date.
