I Live In The UK And I Want To Join A NHS Quit Smoking Group But I Have Heard You Must Be At Least 18yrs Of Age.
Is This True? If Not, How Old Do You Have To Be?

I know exactly how you feel, I was in a very similar situation. I remember that I was so nervous at that time and I took it out on everyone around me. I didnt know what could I do until, thanks god, I found Smoke Deter. Now I can look back and laugh on myself and in the same time I remember how helpless I was. I hope that I'll never be in the same situation again
Any age. To restrict the age would mean the official policy is to keep you smoking for a few years!
I would think you could be any age…
i dont think it matters how old you are
give them a ring, I am sure they will help you.
no, it just depends on the group.
they have one at my high school…so no age requirements
and its great if you wanna stop!
any age
Well what is the age your allowed to smoke at over there? If it’s 18 , it may very well be 18 to join the group too. I just recently quit.. 3 weeks ago actually. You just have to go cold turkey.. I know it doesn’t work for everyone. But surprisingly I was actually ready to quit this time and it was much easier
Goodluck to you! I know it can be tough at times.
I doubt it. These groups are there to help people. They would be complete hypocrits do deny help based on age. They have to identify and accept that kids smoke at young ages and have as much right to help with quitting than anyone.
You have to be 16 to buy cigs, and your 17, so you should be able to seek help.
If you are being denied help, then go to your local citizens advice bureua and ask their help. They’ll sort them out!
Short of that, visit your doctor, explian you want to quit smoking and he/she will help you.
You should consult your parents if you are still a minor,if you are an adult then its just a matter of motivation,setting fire to and burning a steady stream of five pound notes is just silly,there are other things you can do with that money that are far more enjoyable.Quitting anything is just a matter of attitude and motivation,if you don,t need to do something that makes you smell unpleasant and harms you,why continue ? I stopped years ago because i disagreed with all the price increases,it was no longer worth it.Even beer is about 16 pounds a gallon now,its cheaper to drink petrol,and beer is just colloured water now,take Newcastle Brown for instance,its nothing like as strong as the old BROON.Cost cutting in cigarrettes is just the same,less tobacco bigger filter tips,thinner fags,contracted transport ,the list of cost cutting goes on and is always reflected in the quantity and quallity of the finished product,its known as >>>>LESS FOR MORE.
