Varenicline (previously called Champix) is now available at Smokefree County Durham!

💊Varenicline is a medication that reduces ni****ne cravings and urges to smoke.
👥Alongside this, you’ll receive 12 weeks of free support from one of our Specialist Practitioners to help you quit smoking for good!
💨At your first appointment, your Specialist Practitioner will chat to you about all your options, including Varenicline. Don’t worry – all our usual *free NRT options are still available, including patches, inhalators and v**es, if you can’t or don’t want to use Varenicline!

💜Start your smokefree journey today by calling us on 0800 772 0565 to book your first appointment, or sign up online https://www.smokefreecountydurham.co.uk/sign-up/

Please note, we’ve had lots of interest in Varenicline, and appointments are on a first-come-first-serve basis, but we’ll do our best to see you as soon as we can!
*Our Ni****ne Replacement Therapy (NRT) products and v**es are completely free throughout your 12-week quit attempt. However, Varenicline is a prescribed medication, so your normal prescription charges will apply.

Are you ready for a smoke-free summer adventure?

Research shows that once you quit, lung function improves 10-30% within months, cutting coughs and breathlessness so you can enjoy your favourite summer activities.

Your stop smoking team can help you get there with tools including:
- Breathing exercises and light activity plans
- Weekly check-ins to track progress
- Advice on combining quitting with physical fitness

Prioritising your children and their health over smoking is one of the most important decisions you can make as a parent 🧡
🤕 Children are more vulnerable to the effects of second-hand smoke because their lungs and immune systems are still developing. 85% of second-hand smoke is completely invisible and contains over 5000 harmful chemicals.
🚭 By quitting smoking or ensuring that your home and car are smoke-free, you're protecting the kids from multiple health risks and teaching them about the importance of making healthy choices. This decision shows them that their health and wellbeing come first, which is one of the greatest gifts you can give them.

🫶 We'll help you quit for free by providing you with 12 weeks of Ni****ne Replacement Therapy products (such as patches and v**e starter kits) alongside one-to-one support from our Specialist Practitioners.
💜 Sign up now by calling us on 0800 772 0565 or completing our online form, and we'll then be in touch to book you in with an appointment!
