Smoking Cessation

Smoking is the greatest single preventable cause of death. It is responsible for around 120,000 deaths per year in the UK, yet 23% of our population still smoke.

Here at the Humberstone Medical Centre we recognise the great difficulties faced by our patients who wish to stop smoking which is why we set up our dedicated Smoking Cessation Clinic. The clinic, operated by trained STOP counsellor Annie Gallagher, offers smokers help in quitting and is supported by NHS Leicester City.
