Our comprehensive Stop Smoking Service in Bletchley is designed to help you quit for good with personalised support and evidence-based treatments. We combine one-to-one counselling with nicotine replacement therapy and prescription medications to maximise your chances of success.
How Our Stop Smoking Service Works
At Kenmakos Medical in Bletchley, we understand that stopping smoking is challenging and deeply personal. Our pharmacists work with you to create a tailored quit plan based on your smoking habits, triggers, and previous attempts. We assess your readiness to quit and discuss all available treatment options, from nicotine patches and gum to prescription medications like varenicline or bupropion.
Your journey with us includes regular follow-up appointments, typically weekly for the first four weeks, then at key milestones. We monitor your progress, adjust your treatment if needed, and provide ongoing motivation and practical advice to help you stay smoke-free. Each session is confidential and non-judgmental, creating a safe space to discuss your challenges and celebrate your wins.
Treatment Options Available
We offer a range of clinically proven treatments to support your quit attempt. Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) products including patches, lozenges, gum, inhalators and nasal spray help reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms. For those who prefer prescription options, we can arrange varenicline, which reduces the rewarding effects of smoking, or bupropion, an antidepressant that decreases cravings.
Many people benefit from combining NRT methods, such as using a patch for steady nicotine levels alongside a fast-acting product for sudden cravings. Our pharmacists will help you choose the most suitable combination for your lifestyle and needs. We also provide behavioural support strategies, including identifying triggers, developing coping techniques, and building new habits to replace smoking.
