Devon launches stop smoking service

Stop For Life Devon is the name of the new service being provided by ICE Creates. It will provide specialist behavioural support and stop-smoking products (such as nicotine replacement therapy and e-cigarettes) to smokers looking to quit.

The service will also provide free specialist training and support to community stop smoking advisors and wider workforces.

The previous OneSmallStep service has been effective at supporting many people to quit smoking and the new stop smoking service will build on its success and contribute towards the aspirations set out in the new Smokefree Devon Alliance strategy.

Steve Brown, the director of public health, communities and prosperity, said, “Reducing harm caused by tobacco is a public health priority in Devon, so we are looking forward to working with ICE Creates to continue to offer an effective service that listens and adapts to the needs of local people.”
