Leeds NHS Stop Smoking Service

Welcome to Leeds NHS Stop Smoking Service

Leeds NHS Stop Smoking Service is a free service open to anyone who would like to stop smoking. Research shows that you are far more likely to be successful in stopping smoking if you combine both treatment and specialist help from us than if you try willpower alone! 

We run a variety of sessions, with over 40 clinics across Leeds which include groups, one-to-ones and drop-ins. The sessions provide information about the different types of treatment available, help you to plan and prepare for your quit day and also give expert advice and encouragement whilst you try to stop smoking. You’ll also have your carbon monoxide levels tested before and after you stop.

We also provide intensive support to pregnant woman and their families, people with mental health problems and young people.

In the past 10 years we’ve helped over 10,500 people to stop smoking.

Our team

Leeds NHS Stop Smoking Service employs a dedicated team of appropriately trained, experienced smoking cessation specialists and administrators.

The team directly delivers or helps to deliver a range of activities which contribute to meeting the objective of the Leeds Tobacco Control Strategy. This is to reduce the smoking across the city to 21% by 2010.
