It\u2019s never too late to stop smoking, your health will improve soon after you quit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhsinform.scot\/healthy-living\/stopping-smoking\/\">NHS Inform<\/a> has advice to support you every step of the way \u2013 from getting ready to stop, making a quit plan, and dealing with cravings. It also has information on how to stop smoking if you are pregnant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All NHS sites are Smoke Free spaces. This means you won\u2019t be able to smoke on NHS grounds if you go to hospital. We can help you have a comfortable hospital stay by providing Nicotine Replacement Therapy, if appropriate. Get in touch with your local service or speak to a member of hospital staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhsinform.scot\/scotlands-service-directory\/pharmacies\">Your local pharmacy<\/a> can support you with nicotine replacement products and provide these for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Willpower alone isn\u2019t always enough to stop for good. If you would like support to quit our trained practitioners can guide you through what\u2019s helped other people, and help you figure out what\u2019s most likely to work for you. Practitioners will discuss the medications available to support your quit journey, and if suitable, they can arrange <strong>Nicotine Replacement<\/strong> or <strong>Varenicline<\/strong> to be prescribed. Support is free and can be face to face or over the phone.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-d85d9088 fsb-style-show-front\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n<div
