Your NHS Health Check and smoking

Stopping smoking is the best thing you can do for your health. We’ve got everything you need to be successful.

You’re 3x as likely to quit with support and nicotine replacement

An NHS Health Check looks at your risk of serious conditions like heart disease, stroke, diabetes and dementia.

If you smoke, your results may show a higher risk. But the good news is that quitting smoking is the single most effective thing you can do to improve your health.

Why quitting matters now

If you’ve recently had your NHS Health Check, this could be the perfect moment to take action.

  • Lower your risk of heart disease and stroke
  • Improve your breathing and circulation
  • Reduce your risk of cancer
  • Boost your mental wellbeing
  • Help you live longer and healthier

Even if you’ve tried before, you can try again, many people need a few attempts before they quit for good.

You don’t have to do it alone

The Smoke Free App and your local stop smoking service can offer:

  • Expert advice from a tobacco dependence advisor
  • One-to-one or group support
  • Help choosing the right treatments (like nicotine replacement or medication)
  • Ongoing encouragement to help you stay on track

In fact, using support and treatment together can make you up to three times as likely to quit for good. Watch the videos below and choose your route to stsuccess.
