Description

Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council Public Health have the commissioning responsibility for Tobacco Control and the delivery of Stop Smoking Services in the borough. The provision of quality Stop Smoking Support Services contributes to the Borough's Health and Wellbeing Strategy, Corporate Plan, wider priorities of the Tobacco Free Lancashire & South Cumbria Strategy and achieving a Smoke Free Generation. Encouraging and supporting smokers & users of smokeless tobacco products, particularly those with long-term conditions, to adopt a healthier smoke free lifestyle will contribute to reducing smoking prevalence and improving the health of Blackburn with Darwen (BwD) residents. This includes education and prevention to deter children and young people from starting to smoke, reducing exposure to second-hand smoke to lower the number of smoking related respiratory diseases and regulation and enforcement to disrupt illegal and counterfeit sales and supply.

Service users will, where eligible, receive access to free Nicotine Replacement Therapy (to include consultation) from the Provider.

Smokers who are unable to stop smoking whilst using NRT will, following consultation, be discharged from the service but invited back when they are ready to make another quit attempt.
