Help for Staff Who Want to Stop Smoking

If you have a group of six or more staff that want to stop smoking, the East Sussex Stop Smoking Service can visit your workplace weekly for six weeks and provide help and support to your staff on a convenient day and time, whether this is in work time or on a break.

New legislation from 1 July 2007 has made all enclosed public places and workplaces smokefree. Giving support to staff who want to quit smoking helps them enjoy the healthier smokefree environment, so everyone can socialise, relax, travel, shop and work free from second-hand smoke.
