South East Essex
South East Essex Stop Smoking Service provides a free service to smokers within the localities of Southend, Castle Point and Rochford. The service provides specialist support and help by trained advisors for people who wish to stop smoking. We address the nicotine addiction, habit and psychological elements to why people smoke.

Smokers are offered motivational group support and attend a stop smoking course once a week for 7 weeks. Smokers can self refer to the service or be referred by health professionals. Help is also available from stop smoking trained pharmacists and practice nurses. They offer one to one structured help and support to smokers in the local community.

The service also helps smokers in some workplaces and has dedicated stop smoking & pregnancy co ordinators.
