Stop-smoking Clinic

Tobacco addiction is considered a chronic disorder that accounts for nearly 78,000 premature deaths every year in the United Kingdom with many more living with debilitating smoking-related illnesses. Meanwhile, smoking increases the risk of developing more than 50 serious health conditions of which some may be fatal while others may lead to irreversible damage to health.

At Pharma Aesthetics, we use two strategies to assist smokers to quit smoking. One of these include behavioural counselling to enhance motivation and to support attempts to quit. The other is pharmacological intervention to reduce nicotine reinforcement and withdrawal from nicotine. We use three drugs to encourage smokers to quit: nicotine replacement therapy, bupropion hydrochloride (slow-release) and varenicline. Our expert behavioural support combined with the offer of pharmacological aids make it possible for smokers who get this package four times more likely to quit successfully than those who try to quit unaided or with over the counter purchases of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) .
