Stop Smoking Support

If you want to stop smoking, there has never been a better time! With dedicated support available through SUPPORT, your local NHS stop smoking team, we will help you take the first steps to a healthy lifestyle.

Did you know that since 2007, more than 7,000 people in Sefton have already quit smoking? Will you join the masses who are quitting today?

SUPPORT are now running stop smoking sessions at the new Netherton Activity Centre every Thursday afternoon to help you stop smoking. With team members on site to help with any questions you may have and registrations taking place every week, there's never been a better time to drop in and join the team. If you have any questions, would like to have a chat, or would like to join a session, why not come along and try something new or click here for more information.
