Stop smoking support

Why quit?

Using tobacco in any form is very harmful to your health. If you smoke tobacco through a cigarette or shisha, you are at increased risk of health problems such as cancer and heart and respiratory disease. Chewing paan/betel nuts can cause oral cancer and have a significant impact on your health.

Are there any local stop smoking services?

You can either drop into your local pharmacy at any time or contact Quit Right Tower Hamlets for free support and advice.
