The Great No Smoking Challenge at the Elephant Walk in sessions
Take the first steps towards stopping smoking and come to one of our walk in sessions. These start on No Smoking Day, Wednesday March 12 10am-4pm, at the Elephant and Castle shopping centre .
The team will be back at the Elephant and Castle a week later, on March 19 from 10am to 4pm. Follow up sessions will take place at the Elephant from 12 to 2pm for a further three weeks.
Support from local GP and TV street doctor
Offering encouragement will be local GP and BBC TV Street Doctor, Dr Jonty Heaversedge. Dr Jonty will be leading a team of expert advisors who will be encouraging people in the shopping centre and nearby streets to think about stopping smoking.
Set a quit date for smokefree success
Smokers who are ready to set a quit date will be signed up for treatment over a four week period. Free nicotine replacement therapy (patches and gum) is available for up to eight weeks. When you go smokefree, you are up to four times more likely to succeed if you use NHS support and stop smoking medicines such as patches or gum to manage your cravings.
