Free kits to help you quit smoking
Date published: 04 January 2011
OLDHAM smokers who made a New Year resolution to quit will be helped by free NHS kits from local pharmacies.
The Quit Kit includes a week’s free trial of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) patches, which can double smokers’ chance of quitting successfully.
Free kits will be available at the Rochdale Road Health Centre, and Co-op Pharmacy, both Royton, Greenfield Co-op and Lees Co-op stores.
Pat Karney, director of Smokefree Greater Manchester, said: “One of the top New Year’s resolutions each year is to stop smoking and the Quit Kit can help people in Oldham do this as part of a range of free, local support services available from the NHS.
“Practical tools and advice can help you deal with your smoking triggers and cravings.
“Picking up a Quit Kit from your nearest participating store could be your first step in quitting for good.”
