Prep to Quit Smoking Programme

Thinking about quitting smoking but not quite ready yet?

Our Prep to Quit Smoking Programme, delivered by Gateway and Trusted Partners, is here to help you take the first steps — at your own pace, with no pressure.

 

This free programme is delivered by our trusted partners and is designed to support people who want to build confidence, understanding, and motivation before setting a quit date.

What is the Prep to Quit Programme?

Prep to Quit is a short, supportive programme that helps you prepare for stopping smoking in the future.

You don’t have to be ready to quit straight away — this programme is about getting ready.

You’ll receive practical guidance, encouragement, and space to talk openly about smoking without judgement.

What you’ll get

By joining the programme, you can expect:

  • Friendly, non-judgemental support
  • Help understanding your smoking habits and triggers
  • Simple tools to manage cravings and stress
  • Clear information about quitting options and support available
  • A chance to build confidence before making a quit attempt

Sessions are relaxed, supportive, and focused on you and your goals.

Who is it for?

This programme is for adults who:

  • Smoke and are thinking about quitting
  • Have tried to quit before and found it difficult
  • Want support but don’t feel ready to stop yet
  • Prefer a gentle, step-by-step approach

You don’t need a referral — just an interest in making a positive change.
