If you live in Dorset and currently smoke, you could get free support to help you quit.
Quitting smoking brings health benefits almost immediately. We know it’s not easy, but you're four times more likely to succeed with support than by going it alone.
Evidence shows that the most effective way to quit is with a combination of specialist support and stop-smoking tools and products.
Whether this is your first attempt or you’ve tried before and want to try again, there are a range of free local support options available, so you can choose the method that works best for you.
Vaping is recognised as one of the most effective ways of giving up smoking.
The evidence is clear that for people who smoke, switching to a regulated vape is much less harmful to health than continuing to smoke tobacco. Vaping poses a fraction of the risk compared to smoking, but they're not entirely risk-free which is why they're only recommended as a tool to help smokers quit. It is important to remember, if you do not smoke, then you should not vape, and children and young people should never vape.
If you do vape, you should plan to quit that too once you know you won't return to smoking. You can find out how to quit vaping when you're ready on the NHS website.
