🚭 Myth-busting: Smoking and Stress

Many people believe smoking helps reduce stress — but that’s a myth. In reality, smoking creates a cycle of ni****ne dependence, where the “relief” you feel comes from easing withdrawal symptoms, not from reducing stress.

The good news? 🌟 Quitting smoking can actually boost your mental wellbeing — helping to lower anxiety, stress, and depression, and improving your overall mood in the long run.

While quitting can feel challenging at first, those short-term withdrawal symptoms are temporary — and you don’t have to face them alone. Our friendly stop smoking advisors are here to help you every step of the way.

💬 Call 01392 406301 for free, personalised support and advice on ni****ne treatments and quitting for good.

When going smoke free, we advise you remove temptation by throwing away any remaining to***co products you have. This reduces temptation especially after a challenging day. During difficult urges, its best to keep yourself busy and distracted. Take up a new hobby, start reading a new book or listen to a podcast. Try and find other ways to unwind and relax.
