Thinking about quitting?
With support and encouragement you can do it!
If you’ve been thinking about quitting smoking, you’ve probably been thinking about the many possible benefits….things like:
- Living healthier and feeling better
- Saving money
- Protecting your family from second-hand smoke
- Discouraging other members of your family from taking up smoking
But quitting can be tough, and it can take many attempts. That’s why Barwon Health has set up a number of specialist “Be Smokefree” Clinics to give smokers the help they need.
“Be Smokefree” Clinics at Barwon Health
The “Be Smokefree” Clinics at Barwon Health provide individual support over a number of weeks.
This approach can be very helpful because:
- It helps you to understand why you smoke and why you want to quit
- It helps you to develop strategies for quitting or cutting back
- It provides you with regular support to manage through the quitting process
- It provides non-judgmental encouragement – even when you slip up
Our staff will also liaise with your general practitioner and other health professionals to make sure we consider your overall health concerns.

It worked for me…….
“I am so happy to finally be able to call myself a non smoker!”
“I had been smoking for more than 30 years…without the one-on-one support from the Barwon Health smoking program I would not be where I am today…smokefree, healthy and enjoying life!”
"The staff were friendly and I felt at ease. They didn't criticise if I had a slip up!” "I found the help, support, encouragement and highly professional approach to be of great assistance to me.”
