DO YOU want to quit smoking? Have you heard of the Quit Smoking service? It is a free NHS service for people in this area who want to stop smoking.

Advisers provide you with positive support, encouragement and, through your GP, ensure you have the correct medication to enable you to stop.

The service encourages you to attend a quit smoking group, but also caters for people who can't attend a group by offering a one-to-one service.

A clinic will be starting at Tadley Swimming Pool community room on January 8.

To find out more, please call Terry or Justine on 0845 6024663.

Also, Tadley now has a "Stop Smoking" pharmacy, and Heather Pande will be pleased to advise anyone who calls in at the Holmwood Pharmacy in Franklin Avenue, or calls for an appointment on 0118 9811984.
