Have your say on the future of stop smoking support in Wales

Archived page: This 2021 survey and its prize draw are now closed. This page is kept for historical reference.

There is free support available for all smokers in Wales from Help Me Quit and you can also access free NRT and behavioural support from your local pharmacy. But what’s currently missing is an online system that could help smokers to book stop smoking appointments, access helpful tips and track their progress.

To find out if this type of digital solution would work, we wanted to hear from smokers and ex-smokers, which is why ASH Wales ran this survey in 2021.

Nobody knows more about smoking and the challenges of quitting than smokers and ex-smokers, and their views helped inform our work.

The survey is now closed.

New nicotine formats to recognise

PRODUCT WATCH ROUNDUP We’ve added new information to ASH Wales Product Watch about nicotine products that may be less familiar. Pouchless nicotine pods have a UK-facing retail listing: these small oral portions have no outer pouch and are not designed to melt. We’ve also added international examples of ultra-thin and semi-gel nicotine pouches, and updated our page on gels, creams, sprays and nasal inhalers. UK or Welsh availability has not been established for those international examples. These updates explain what the products are, what is verified and what remains uncertain. They do not establish how widely any product is used in Wales.
