Supporting Local Business to Stop Smoking
At Wellness Service, we are passionate about helping people live healthier, smoke-free lives. Recently, we had the pleasure of working with a local business, Jay-Be, supporting their staff on a 12-week journey to quit smoking. Over six weeks, we provided on-site support, offering information, encouragement and free Nicotine Replacement Therapy followed by another 6 weeks of ongoing phone support, ensuring they stayed on track.
The impact has been incredible! Many staff members at Jay-Be have successfully quit smoking, improving both their health and well-being. To celebrate their achievements, we presented them with their 12-week certificates marking a significant milestone in their smoke-free journey. It was fantastic to see them again and hear their feedback, with many saying they feel healthier, more energetic, and proud of their success.
Andrew: “It’s been brilliant! The Wellness Service coming to my work gave me the kick I needed to stop smoking. I know I won’t ever go back smoking. If I can stop anyone can!”
Shafida:“The smoking cessation drop-ins at work were good. It was good to talk to someone about stopping smoking. I wouldn’t have quit without the products and support. My health is better now that I stopped smoking”.
Emma: ” I have tried many times in the past to stop smoking and failed! Orla at the Kirklees Wellness Service was amazing in supporting me. The programme is great and would recommend any company looking to increase staff wellbeing and health to link in with this programme. Orla continues to provide encouragement and advice all along the way. Orla didn’t judge nor did she push. She was so encouraging and informative the whole way. With the advice given I was able to have my husband and mum sign up and we are all going through this together. I believe the support and advice provided will have me remain an ex smoker! Thank you so much!”
Matthew: “The drop-in has helped with my determination – seeing the (CO) numbers fluctuate and how quickly they have gone down when I stopped has really helped to keep motivated.”
