Quitting smoking is one of the best decisions you can make for your health and now, it’s easier than ever for Norfolk residents. SmokeFree Norfolk, a service commissioned by Norfolk County Council and delivered by Reed Wellbeing, launched on April 1, 2024, to help adults across the county quit smoking for good.

What is SmokeFree Norfolk?

SmokeFree Norfolk is a free, evidence-based stop smoking service designed to support people in Norfolk who want to quit. Whether you're trying to quit for the first time or have tried before, this service offers the tools, support, and encouragement you need to succeed.

What support is available?

Here’s what you can expect when you join the program: • One-to-one coaching: work with a trained Stop Smoking Coach to build a quit plan that fits your lifestyle. • Flexible access: Get support in person, over the phone, or online—whatever works best for you. • Free treatments: choose between a course of Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) or a vape starter kit to support your quit. • Progress tracking: carbon monoxide monitoring helps you see the health benefits of quitting in real time. • Relapse support: if you slip up, you’ll get non-judgmental advice to help you get back on track.

Who can use the service?

If you're 18 or older, live in Norfolk, or are registered with a Norfolk GP, you’re eligible. The service is especially focused on supporting people in the Core20PLUS5 group—those most affected by health inequalities. Training for professionals

SmokeFree Norfolk also offers training for community practitioners. This includes: • Brief Intervention Training • Annual refresher courses

These sessions ensure that professionals across Norfolk can confidently support people on their quit journey.
