Smoking and mental health

Often, people who smoke do so in an attempt to relieve feelings of stress, anxiety, and poor mental health. Unfortunately, smoking can increase these feelings in the long-term due to withdrawal symptoms and nicotine cravings. This can contribute to poor mental health and does not help the underlying cause. 

If you are suffering with poor mental health, a QuitReady Advisor can provide specialist support and options to help you on your quit journey.  Contact the team today via the Self Referral page.
