Support for people quitting

There is a number of different ways of smoking, and there is different supports. The most common support is from the NHS, but there is support that is given from your friends and family. Some people also use the internet for support because there is a mass of information that is given to people searching to quit. 


I typed in on google "quit smoking", the result was 4,200,000.
This shows me that there is a lot of information provided to people who want to quit.


The NHS provides a mass of support such as a quit kit which provides a mass of information on smoking, information on quit smoking medicines, music to calm your cravings, and more information that you may need. The NHS also provides support online such as calculate the cost, which helps you to see how much you spend each, week, fortnight, month and year. This is there to shook the smoker and make them realise how much money they are spending. Addiction test, support materials, timeline and make a promise.
You can also order a number of support materials which will be send to your home within 6-10 days of order.




















There is also a number of products that can be used to help quit smoking, products such as the invisipatch, 
icy white gum, inhaltor, microtab, gum and nasal spray.
All of these products are provided by Nicorette. Which is a company of products to help people who want to quit smoking.
















These two types of support is what i am going to use in my documentary.
The images that i have used is from google and the information is from the NHS and Nicorette.

When i ordered the quit kit from online, it said that it would take 6-10 days. I did wait those days and then rang the NHS number to see why i had not received the quit kit. They then said that they do not send it to Wales. I found that it was unfair to people in Wales who are trying to quit, because the support is not send and that it should be because people do smoke in Wales and need the support.
