Meet Ups

We provide smoking cessation support in a range of settings across Medway.  Remember you are likely to be four times more successful in quitting with our help.

All of our support is tailored specifically towards the needs of young people and includes:

• Information on the range of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) products available to help you quit
• Carbon Monoxide testing so you can see this poisonous gas leave your system as soon as you quit!
• Vouchers for you to get NRT products such as patches and lozenges from a number of pharmacies in Medway.  You get these products at prescription prices – free if you don’t pay for your prescriptions!
• Helpful hints and tips to prepare you for quitting and to support you through the quitting process
• Support from others within your group

Depending on where you live and your availability, you may be able to choose from the following types of support which last just six or seven weeks. At the end of the support sessions, you can be completely Smokefree!

A stop smoking course
Sit down each week in a relaxed and informal group with others quitting like you and share your experiences

A drop-in

One to ones

For more information on any of these options, Talk to Us and tell us a bit about yourself and what help you think you’d like.  The more you tell us, the more easily we’ll be able to support you.  We’ll then come back to you to make arrangements to help you become Smokefree!
