Turn over a New Leaf
If you are resolving to quit smoking, the New Leaf Scheme from Nottinghamshire NHS will help you achieve your resolution.
New Leaf is a different approach to giving up smoking. Evidence shows that accessing the New Leaf Service greatly improves a person's chances of successfully quitting smoking and staying stopped.
New Leaf offers smokers as much support as possible to give up, including a 6-8 week Quit Programme which is proven to double your chances of a successful quit attempt; specially trained advisors to give support and information; group and one-to-one counselling; free advice and information on stop smoking aids including all Nicotine Replacement Therapies (NRT) and the prescribed drugs Zyban and Champix.
For more information about the New Leaf service, please visit the New Leaf website or call 0800 389 7712.
