LiveWell Dorset is a health and wellbeing service run by Dorset Council that offers FREE stop smoking support. You may have directed patients to the service before but did you know you can access this help too?

Smoking is one of the hardest habits to break, but when you access local support, you quadruple your chances of quitting for good. Nearly nine out of ten of the people supported by LiveWell Dorset make it to four weeks smoke-free.

Registration is easy – it can be done via phone or online where a team of advisors and coaches are ready to discuss stop-smoke options.

They will help you choose from a range of options including:

• Face-to-face support: We can help you find support from your local pharmacy
• Nicotine and gum patches: We'll send you a pack of nicotine gum and patches
• Vape started kit: Find out if you're eligible for a vape starter kit for Stoptober
• Livewell coaching: Regular 1-2-1 calls with a LiveWell Coach who can help you identify your triggers and show you how you can overcome them. These sessions take place over the phone at a time that's convenient for you.

Stoptober is coming!

Could you go smoke free for 28 days in October? Now’s the perfect time to take that first step. Be part of the national campaign – but with local support!

As well as individual support, LiveWell Dorset offers Workplace Wellbeing training – workshops for groups of up to 20 that inspire everyone to embrace a healthier lifestyle. These can be delivered in person when this can be done safely, or virtually.

Lisa and Lanie are just two of the many people LiveWell Dorset has helped to successfully quit smoking. It wasn’t easy, there were plenty of blips along the way – but LiveWell was there for them, they didn’t have to go through it alone.
