Clinical care — 07/09

Stopping smoking.

A plan, the right products, and someone checking in on you. It works.

With structured support you’re up to four times more likely to quit than with willpower alone — that’s the HSE’s own figure. We’ll help you choose the right nicotine replacement, set a quit date, and check in as you go.

How it works

01

Choose the right support together

Patches, gum or spray — matched to how much and when you actually smoke.

02

Set a quit date

A clear line to prepare for — ideally a day without an unusual amount of stress lined up.

03

Check-ins as you go

A short conversation every week or two, because quitting sticks better with someone in your corner.

Questions — stopping smoking

Straight answers.

Yes — most people who quit for good didn’t manage it on the first try. Every attempt is information: what tripped you up last time tells us exactly where to put the extra support this time.

Cravings come in short waves that get further apart, and irritability, restlessness and disturbed sleep are common — and temporary. None of it means the quit is failing; it means it’s working.

A short conversation every week or two — adjusting the nicotine replacement if cravings are breaking through, easing off as things settle, and getting you straight back on track after a stumble.
