Tranmere Rovers support Wirral stop smoking service

Jan 7 2009 by Sue McCann, Birkenhead News

Kicking the habit

TRANMERE Rovers is giving smoking the boot.

The club is supporting smokers to quit in the New Year by opening its doors to the local NHS.

The club has teamed up with NHS Wirral’s Stop Smoking Service to provide another community venue where smokers can seek help to quit.

Every Thursday, between 5-7.30pm, from January 8, smokers can either drop into Prenton Park’s Bunny Bell Suite for confidential help and advice or alternatively, people can pre-book on 630 8383.

The service is free and trained advisers will be on hand to offer one-to-one or group support with stopping smoking, advice on a range of treatments available and ongoing support for up to 12 weeks

Anyone who joins the scheme and gives cigarettes the boot in 2009 is in with a chance to win a Tranmere shirt or signed football.

For further details or to book an appointment at another venue, call the team at Wirral Stop Smoking Service on 630 8383 or email wsupport@wirralpct.nhs.uk

l You are up to four times more likely to be successful if you quit using your local NHS Stop Smoking Service.
