Decision brief

Compare the care model, not just the starting price.

How to choose

The strongest programmes combine medication with behavioural support rather than selling one in isolation, set a quit date, and follow up in the first fortnight when relapse risk is highest.

How it works

Complete an online intake covering smoking history and prior quit attempts, have a licensed clinician review it, agree a quit date, and start medication or nicotine replacement with scheduled check-ins.

What to confirm

  • Prescription options that roughly double quit rates versus willpower alone
  • Guidance on combining patches with short-acting nicotine replacement
  • Follow-up during the highest-risk first weeks

Practical questions

Stop Smoking questions, answered

What prescription medications help you quit smoking?

Varenicline and bupropion are the two prescription options with the strongest evidence for smoking cessation. Both are started before your quit date and continued for a set course afterwards, and both require a clinician to assess whether they are appropriate for you.

Does nicotine replacement therapy work on its own?

It improves quit rates, and combining a long-acting patch with a short-acting form such as gum or lozenge works better than either alone. Combining nicotine replacement with behavioural support improves results further.

How long does treatment last?

Most cessation medication courses run around twelve weeks, sometimes extended for people who have quit successfully but remain at high relapse risk. Relapse is common and is not a reason to stop trying — repeat attempts are a normal part of quitting.
