Primary Care Trust LogoStop Smoking Service

Formally called the smoking cessation service, the Stop Smoking Service is based at Darlington Primary Care Trust and has two specialist advisors, Darcy Brown and Claire Askew.

 

The service aims:

  • to raise public awareness of tobacco-related dangers
  • to reduce tobacco use/smoking and the associated health risks
  • to offer the latest advice and information on how to stop smoking for those who want or need to do so. This includes details of the nicotine replacement products and other help available on prescription that, when used with support, can double the chance of success.
  • If you want help or just more information, you can contact your GP surgery or your local NHS Stop Smoking Service on the details below:
