A selection of major quit smoking charities and organisations around the world.
Most governments, and local health authorities are now trying to provide a variety of services, which offer free support, information and advice for those people who want to give up smoking. There also exists a whole host of non-governmental organisations and charities that offer their own advice and support.
These services may come in the form of smoking cessation groups that have been set up around your country and which offer one-to-one counselling and group sessions, national and local websites that provide information and advice on smoking and how to stop, or telephone helplines.
All information provided by these services is given by specifically trained health professionals who are qualified to give advice on smoking and how to quit.
