Smoking Cessation

Smoking Cessation Service

We all know that stopping smoking is the single most important step that a patient can take to improve their health and wellbeing.

That’s why, over the last few years, the team at Toome Pharmacy has worked hard to develop a successful Smoking Cessation Service, and we’re delighted to say that we have had many success stories!

At Toome Pharmacy we understand how important it is to build a rapport with our smoking cessation patients.

It’s not just about advising people on how to stop, or about explaining how the various smoking cessation products work. 

It’s about explaining why they want to smoke.

It’s about explaining the effects of the smoke on their body.

It’s about explaining how the body reacts when the patient actually stops smoking.

In short, it’s about giving the patient the time that they require to understand what’s happening and to support them on their journey.

Our Smoking Cessation advisor, Bernadine, has developed a five-step programme to help our patients, who want to stop smoking.

Bernadine’s programme is based on the ‘5 As’:

Asking people about their smoking status

Assessing their motivation

Advising patients of the benefits of stopping

Assisting patients in stopping by helping them to plan and prepare for cessation

Arranging for them to use professional help and advice from the smoking cessation service

If you would like to stop smoking, speak to Bernadine or one of our team today and book your first consultation.

If you want to take the first step on your smoking cessation journey, Toome Pharmacy is there to accompany you along the way….
