Making the decision to quit smoking is one of the best things you can do for your health. If you are asking "How do I stop smoking?" the great news is that you don't have to do it alone. The most successful approach is a combination of expert support and proven stop smoking aids.

At Cornwell's Chemists, with 10 branches across Staffordshire, we are a vital part of your local NHS Stop Smoking Service network, ready to give you the tailored support you need.


Your Best Chance of Success: Combination Support

Research shows you are up to three times more likely to quit successfully if you use a stop smoking medicine combined with expert behavioural support. This is the gold standard approach we offer at your Staffordshire pharmacy.

Our trained pharmacists can provide:

  • Personalised Advice: We'll help you set a quit date, discuss your triggers, and create a plan tailored to your lifestyle.
  • Stop Smoking Aids: We supply various effective stop smoking aids (UK pharmacy options) to manage withdrawal and cravings:
    • Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT): We offer NRT in many forms, including NRT patches and gum, lozenges, sprays, and inhalers. We can advise on using a combination (e.g., a patch for a steady dose and gum for sudden cravings) for the best results.
    • Prescription Medicines: We can also discuss and provide certain prescription-only medications like Bupropion (Zyban), Varenicline (Champix), or Cytisine, following a consultation and on a private basis.
