Redbridge Quits Smoking - Session 14

Lead: Helen O’Connor – RQS Implementation Manager

The service is delivered by V-I-A and went live in April. Redbridge Quits Smoking operates from a main hub in Ilford Town Centre and is developing a programme of satellite clinics and engagement events across the borough. The service offers free and confidential behavioural support and nicotine replacement therapies to anyone aged 12 and above who lives, works, or studies in Redbridge. As well as supporting those who are smoking cigarettes, RQS can also support people who are using other forms of tobacco that can also be addictive and harmful (such as Paan, Betel quid, bidi, gutkha or shisha), and those who are concerned about their use of vapes/e-cigarettes.
