Smoking
Smoking 20 Cigarettes a day will cost you over £3,500 per year. Stopping smoking can make a big difference to your relationships, sex life, bank balance, and you’ll live longer too.
Weekly smoking cessation clinics are being run at the Practice (for patients that are registered at Bideford Medical Centre). Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) is available at these clinics. Scientific evidence shows smokers are more likely to be successful in giving up if NRT is prescribed along with support such as in a smoking cessation clinic.
Our ‘Smoke Stop’ clinic has had numerous success stories.
