January proved to be a popular month for smoking cessation with 25 new referrals being made to the service from across the Outer Hebrides.

Many of the clients self referred and stated that they really wanted to start their New Year with a bang and Stopping Smoking was on the top of their list.

The service was able to offer a range of support including:

• advice on Nicotine Replacement Therapies (NRT)
• advice on non-Nicotine products
• options and choices of service provision – telephone, face-to-face and the use of texting or email.
