Smoking Cessation

It is medically acknowledged that smoking not only causes mouth and lung cancer, but a whole host of other problems such as heart disease, bronchitis and pneumonia. It is also widely recognised that smoking damages your body's ability to heal itself and fight off infections and nowhere is this more evident than in people who suffer from gum disease.

When you go smokefree, you are up to four times more likely to succeed if you use NHS support and stop smoking medicines such as patches or gum to manage your cravings.
