NHS Great Yarmouth and Waveney health promoter Tracey Read said: “We would encourage anyone who has thought about stopping smoking or would like to do so to come along to one of these sessions and find out how we can help.
“Smoking is the biggest preventable cause of death in the UK and can also cause significant health problems and illness.
Many smokers find it very difficult to stop - but getting the right help and support from the NHS can significantly increase your chances of success, leaving you feeling fitter, healthier and happier.”
Miss Read and her colleagues will be at the following pharmacies over the coming weeks:
