North Northamptonshire stop smoking service includes a 12-week treatment plan incorporating NRT products, provided only to individuals aged 12 and above who are engaged in the stop smoking programme and receiving behavioural support with regular contact from a stop smoking advisor. The stop smoking service provides 12 weeks of support to local smokers and expects to work with 1,800 people per year in year one.
