What if I just want Information?

Do You Want To Stop Smoking?

The "Stay Free - Break Free From Smoking" Campaign in Guernsey is here to help you take this most positive step to protect your health.

Stopping smoking is rather like learning to ride a bicycle. Some people can do it unaided, but many will benefit from a little support. Smoking Cessation support groups are available periodically in Guernsey. Contact Guernsey Quitline (233170) or the Health Promotion Unit (707311) for more details and information.

This website is full of information to take you through the stages in stopping smoking. It will help you think why you want to stop and to prepare to stop, actually stop smoking and then help you stay stopped. Use the links on the left hand side of your screen to allow you to browse through the site.

Whether you decide to try to stop smoking on your own, or join a group for support, you may well find that stopping smoking can be easier than you ever imagined it would be.
