Smoking

Stopping smoking is one of the healthiest choices you can make.

Stopping smoking is hard but well worth it. That’s why we advise it so strongly. Quitting or stopping smoking can:

• improve your general health
• speed up your recovery after surgery
• lower your chances of complications from surgery
• lower the risk of cancer coming back

If you want to give up smoking, it is never too late. Ask your GP for help. You can also self-refer to the NHS stop smoking specialists. We call them the Specialist Smoking Cessation services. They provide free one to one support and medication to help you quit smoking.
