You can get help to stop smoking in the community.
How does it work?
At your regular one-to-one appointments, held at convenient times and locations, you and your Stop Smoking Advisor will create a tailored action plan together.
You will be provided with:
- information and access to stop smoking medications, including e-cigarettes
- help with prescription costs (if necessary)
- advice, support and encouragement from your Stop Smoking Advisor
- 24/7 support via the Smoke Free app
What to expect
The best way to quit smoking is with support and medication, and the Solihull Stop Smoking service can provide you with both. While it’s natural to be nervous at your first appointment you’ll find we are a friendly and helpful team. It’s important you are completely honest with your Stop Smoking Advisor as that is how we create your 12 week tailored plan. Referrals to the service can be made on the SmokeFree Solihull website.
If you don’t know what medication you want to use, your Stop Smoking Practitioner will provide you with expert guidance about nicotine replacement products, such gum and patches, and the option of a quit attempt with the use of e-cigarettes.
As part of the tailored support package, you will have your carbon monoxide reading taken, which is a quick and simple breath test, and shows how much carbon monoxide is in your system. It’s great when it goes to a ‘non-smoker’ reading and people tell us how much better they feel - sometimes physically, other times financially and mentally.
The support package also includes six months access to the Smoke Free app, which provides 24/7 support from experienced stop smoking advisors and a 12-week supply of Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT)

Stopping smoking isn’t an easy thing to do, but with the right support, medication and motivation from the stop smoking team we’ll give you the best chance to quit.
