Frequently Asked Questions

Is it hard to quit smoking?

With a little bit of support and guidance from Quit Right Waltham Forest, you can quit smoking for good. Every journey is different, but speaking to our advisors can help you with a 12-week plan.

Why should I quit?

There are so many reasons. When you quit, you’ll feel better and cut your chances of having a heart attack, stroke, or cancer. It’s worth it, even if you’ve smoked for a long time.

What are the risks of smoking?

There are a lot of them. Smoking is life-threatening because it makes you much more likely to get many diseases, like heart disease and cancers of the lungs.

Can I smoke during pregnancy?

If you’re pregnant, smoking makes miscarriage or low birth weight more likely. It’s also linked to a bigger chance of sudden infant death syndrome after you have a baby.

What’s the first step to quitting?

You should set a quit date – the day when you will quit smoking and start to break free of your tobacco addiction. Speak to our advisors who can help guide you.

What if my friends and family smoke?

Tell them that you are quitting, and ask them to help you. Specifically, ask them not to smoke or leave cigarettes around you. They might even join you!
