Public Service, Stop Smoking Service
SMOKEFREE PATIENTS
If you currently smoke then stopping smoking is the best step you can take to reduce the harm to your health and wellbeing.
As we are smokefree, if you are admitted to our hospital you can expect health professionals to ask you if you smoke and to offer you support to become smoke free.
We are here to help you. We know how difficult it can be to go through the stop smoking process.
If you suddenly stop smoking the cravings to smoke are likely to be very strong initially, you may well experience headaches and anxiety, and it's easy to be irritated by people around you. We do not want that to happen to you so we are ready and willing to provide you with nicotine patches, gum, lozenges and/or the Nicorette inhalator to manage nicotine withdrawal symptoms that you may experience whilst in hospital.
