NCSCT Guidance on Remote consultation
In light of the rapid spread of coronavirus, the NCSCT have recommended that stop smoking services suspend providing face-to-face support until further notice. However, it is still vitally important that we continue to provide support to clients who want to stop smoking or who are in the process of quitting.

As an E-Cigarette friendly service, we would like every advisor to be equipped with the knowledge about e-cigarettes our clients need to make an informed decision. The following factsheet can be a useful tool when speaking to clients who are using or want to use an e-cigarette as part of their quit attempt. It also includes a myth busting page with the most common misconceptions surrounding e-cigarettes.
