Stop Smoking Service

Want to quit smoking? It doesn’t have to be a drag

Your local Southend Stop Smoking service offers FREE support to local people who are thinking of and wanting to take positive steps towards stopping smoking. If you’ve tried quitting or always thought it was too difficult then our Stop Smoking service is for you. 

Our specially-trained practitioners provide completely FREE advice, support and encouragement on how to go about quitting smoking completely. Something which is four times more likely if you make use of the support and medication we offer.
