Help to quit smoking is free and available locally from Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) staff and community pharmacies.

Over 100 awards were given to participants in a graduation ceremony at the end of February for qualifications, training and personal development programmes completed by individuals in recovery from drug or alcohol misuse.

This year No Smoking Day is on 9 March, so why not make the most of the free expert advice and options available from our staff to support you to stop smoking.

Local NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde (NHSGG&C) Quit Your Way stop smoking services are still operating across Glasgow.

We all need an advocate at some times in our lives. It helps to have someone around to make a difficult phone call, someone who can help write a letter or someone to go with you to a difficult meeting.
