  • Stop smoking services: increased chances of quitting

    Using stop smoking services is three times as effective as making an unassisted quit attempt

    Variable short-term quit rates amongst stop smoking services, plus evidence from two studies, has led to a review of the claim that: "Smokers are up to four times more likely to succeed with the English stop smoking services than if they try to quit unaided."

    The best evidence now shows that using stop smoking services is THREE TIMES as effective as making an unassisted quit attempt.

    This briefing provides the basis for this new, revised claim.
