Living Well Smokefree
The health implications of smoking tobacco can be worsened by smoking illicit substances and drinking above the recommended amount of alcohol.
North Yorkshire Horizons is strongly committed to promoting smokefree activity in our workplaces and communities. Our staff are trained to deliver evidence based brief advice and work collaboratively with Living Well Smokefree to support people to stop smoking.
We work with Living Well Smokefree
Living Well Smokefree is a team of advisors who have plenty of experience in helping people to stop smoking. You can access this support if you are aged 12 upwards and if you live, work or are registered with a GP in North Yorkshire. We have community based locations across North Yorkshire and can arrange home visits if you have mobility issues.
Living Well Smokefree offers personalised, one-to-one support over 6 to 12 weeks including:
- access to a dedicated stop smoking advisor
- a supply of either Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) or Champix
- local weekly one-to-one behavioural support.
They are an e-cigarette friendly service and can provide behavioural support to go alongside the use of an e-cigarette throughout a quit attempt, but currently cannot provide the device and refills themselves.
We know that people who use this combination of support are three times more likely to quit for good.
Refer using the contact details below or a speak to your North Yorkshire Horizons worker about referring you.
