Thinking about Quitting Smoking or Vaping?
If you smoke or vape, choosing to stop is one of the best things you can do for your health and wellbeing. We know it's not always easy, but you don't have to do it alone.
How We Support You in Hospital
When you come into hospital, we'll ask if you smoke or vape. This is part of our routine care and helps us offer the right support for you.
Our Smokefree & Vapefree Support
Our friendly Smokefree Practitioners are here to give you compassionate, non-judgmental help during your hospital stay and afterwards.
We can help with:
- Nicotine cravings: which can cause headaches, irritability, anxiety, or trouble sleeping.
- Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT): including patches, gum, lozenges and spray to make quitting more manageable. Our practitioners will provide detailed information on how NRTs are to be used.
- Vape transition support: whether you want to cut back, quit completely, or switch from vaping to a safer quit method. We are here to offer our services.
Your Quit Journey, Your Way
We'll give you trusted information and personalised advice so you can become smokefree or vapefree in a way that works for you. Whether you're ready to stop today or just thinking about it, we can help you plan your next steps.
We're Here for You
Talk to any member of our team as we're here to help you today, and to support your health long after you leave the hospital.

Referral Expectations
Prior to a hospital admission for surgery, investigations or treatment it would be advisable to stop smoking for at least two weeks to prevent post-operative or treatment complications. Smoke inhalation inhibits lung function, facilitates blood clotting, reduces oxygen supply to vital organs and impacts negatively on a healthy immune system.
Quitting smoking prior to surgery can prevent complications that can happen post surgery such as lung or wound infections. Carbon monoxide is contained in inhaled cigarette smoke and causes the red cells in your blood to clot. Blood clotting as a result of smoking is what causes strokes and heart attacks to occur. As soon as carbon monoxide is removed from the bloodstream by not inhaling smoke then the level of oxygen available in the body for healing increases.
