NHS Costs to Help People Stop Smoking rises over £200 per person.

NHS figures have shown that the cost to the NHS of helping people to stop smoking has risen above the £200 mark, and is in fact £244 per person.

The number of people stopping smoking with NHS services had dropped, despite the fact that the NHS is currently spending more than £33,000,000 per quarter on helping people to stop smoking.

The rise in NHS spending, and the drop in the number of people using the service, means that the average cost per smoker has risen to £244.

NHS figures show that around 50% of those who stop smoking with NHS services will still not be smoking approximately one month after stopping smoking.

NHS stop smoking services use a range of techniques to help people to stop smoking, including nicotine replacement products (such as nicotine gum, nicotine patches and nicotine inhalers), as well as drug based products such as Zyban and Champix.
