Matthew Seal, Stop Smoking Team Lead

“April – December 2025 we have seen 66 smokers at the clinic, 37 of whom went on to quit smoking.

Of the 66, 17 (26%) had mental health conditions, 48 (73%) had long term health conditions, 59 (89%) were from the lowest social groups, and 31 (47%) were from BAME backgrounds.

This is our highest attended community clinic and has the best quit rate. This clinic is on track to see over 100 clients by the end of the financial year.”

 

Incredible news! The Stop Smoking Clinic is held at Deptford Lounge every Wednesday from 9.30 am – 4.30 pm each week, so if you’d like help to kick the habit for good come on down!
