Quit your way<\/h2>\n
\n

Smoking is one of the single largest preventable causes of premature death and ill health in Scotland. It causes approximately 8,260 smoking-related deaths every year in Scotland and is responsible for around 40,766 hospital admissions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Smoking quit attempts in Scotland have been falling since 2011, they have more than halved in the last twelve years. Public Health Scotland recently chaired a\u00a0Review of smoking cessation services in Scotland<\/a>, one of the main recommendations of which was the focus on the promotion of stop smoking services.<\/p>\n

In response to this, Public Health Scotland has worked closely with NHS 24 and NHS boards to develop the Quit Your Way stop-smoking campaign.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
