Why giving up smoking is difficult

Even people who really want to quit can find it hard. 

That’s because the nicotine found in tobacco is very addictive and creates withdrawal symptoms and cravings. And it’s the withdrawal from the nicotine that makes quitting smoking hard. Common withdrawal symptoms include:

– Urge to smoke
– Weight gain
– Headaches
– Insomnia
– Concentration problems
– Fatigue
– Restlessness
– Irritability

Tips to help you quit smoking

– Get support from friends by asking them not to smoke around you.
– Don’t replace cigarettes with food – go for a five-minute walk instead of your cigarette break to reduce your cravings.
– Save the money you would have spent on cigarettes in a jar so you can see your progress
– Stay positive – every day without a cigarette is a good thing
– E-cigarettes may help to quit smoking but are not a risk-free alternative

You can also use different therapies to help you quit such as hypnotherapy, acupuncture, or counselling. Find what works for you.

Happy Customers

What our customers say

“Thank you Staveley Pharmacy for the way in which you dealt with my dad’s prescription following our call to NHS111.  It was very much appreciated.”

A Hames

“Didn’t have my prescription in stock due to suppliers being out of stock, so rang round other chemists in the area. When no luck the owner rang GP to get the prescription changed for a similar alternative. Stayed open late whilst waiting for GP to get back in touch. Incredible service and very much appreciated thank you.”

M Wardle
