Stop Smoking Service in Northern Ireland
At Corrys Chemists, we care about your long-term health. If you are a smoker in Northern Ireland and want help to quit, our free Stop Smoking Service provides expert support at our Castlederg, Enniskillen, and Gortin branches.
Our pharmacy team is specially trained to provide personalised advice, encouragement, and access to Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) to help you break your nicotine addiction and stay smoke-free for good.
Why Use a Stop Smoking Service?
Evidence shows that people who combine professional advice and support with Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) are up to four times more likely to quit successfully compared to using willpower alone.
Our structured 12-week programme provides guidance, accountability, and practical tools to help you manage cravings and withdrawal symptoms safely.
How the 12-Week Programme Works
Initial Consultation
Your first appointment lasts around 15 minutes. During this session, we will:
- Discuss your smoking habits and history
- Agree on a quit date
- Identify triggers and challenges
- Recommend the most suitable form of NRT
Week 1 – Quit Date
Before or on your agreed quit date, you will:
- Attend a short follow-up consultation
- Receive your first week’s supply of NRT if appropriate
Weeks 2–12 – Ongoing Support
You will return weekly for up to 12 weeks to:
- Review your progress
- Collect your NRT supply
- Receive continued advice and encouragement
Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT)
NRT helps reduce withdrawal symptoms by supplying controlled amounts of nicotine without the harmful chemicals found in cigarettes.
Available options may include:
- Patches
- Gum
- Lozenges
- Inhalators
Our pharmacists will assess which option best suits your needs and review any medical conditions before recommending treatment.
