Our free programme gives you the support, and tools you need to stop smoking and stay smokefree.
With us, you’ll get:
- Friendly, one-to-one support from an expert Advisor
- Free quit aids, including nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), vapes or medication

Real people. Real results
Tried before? Try again with us.
If you’ve tried to quit before, don’t let that stop you trying again.
Most people need more than one go before they quit smoking for good. Every time you try, you learn more about what works for you, what gets in your way and what you can do differently next time.
This Stoptober, give it another go. With the right support behind you, this could be the time you quit for good.

A little extra reason to quit.
Everyone has their own reason for quitting.

And we’ll be right there with you.
How can Smokefree Island help me to quit?
Our friendly, experienced stop smoking advisors will work with you to create a quit plan that works for you. You’ll get one-to-one support, practical advice and access to free stop smoking products to help make quitting more manageable.
Is the support actually free?
Our support is completely free if you’re aged 12 or over, live, work, study or are registered with a GP on the Isle of Wight, and currently smoke or use nicotine products.
What happens when I sign up?
One of our friendly team will get in touch to find out a little more about you and how we can best support you. Together, you’ll agree a quit plan that works for you and arrange your ongoing support.
What if I’m not ready to quit yet?
That’s okay. You don’t need to have everything figured out before you get in touch. Our team can talk through your options, answer any questions and help you decide what feels right for you.
What if I’ve tried to quit before?
Don’t worry. Lots of people try more than once before they quit for good. We’ll talk about what worked for you before, what didn’t, and help you find an approach that feels right for you this time.
What stop smoking products can I use?
There are lots of products available to help manage cravings and make quitting more manageable, including nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), such as patches, gum and lozenges, as well as medications like cytisine and varenicline. Your advisor will talk you through the options and help you find what works best for you.
Can I use a vape to help me quit smoking?
Yes. If you’re an adult who smokes, switching to a vape can be an effective way to help you quit. We can provide a free vape starter kit as part of your quit programme, alongside support from your advisor to help you make the switch.
How long will you support me for?
Our programmes usually last up to 12 weeks. During that time, you’ll have regular one-to-one support from your advisor to help you stay on track and work through any challenges along the way.
Can I have evening or weekend appointments?
Yes. We offer flexible appointment times, including evenings and weekends, so you can get support at a time that works for you. We can also support you over the phone if that’s more convenient.
Why not just go ‘cold turkey’?
Research shows that with support from a trained stop smoking professional and nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), you’re up to three times more likely to quit smoking for good than if you try to quit on your own.
