Leeds Community Stop Smoking Service for People with Mental Health or Long-Term Physical Health Conditions

Leeds Stop Smoking Service (LSSS) is a community-based smoking cessation program designed to help people quit smoking. The service prioritizes support for individuals who currently smoke and have, or are at risk of developing, common mental health conditions (such as depression or anxiety) and/or long-term physical health conditions (such as diabetes, heart disease, or COPD). Within this priority group, the service will focus resources on communities and neighborhoods across Leeds where smoking rates are higher than the city average, ensuring support reaches those with the greatest need. The service will provide evidence-based cessation support, behavioral interventions, and access to pharmacotherapy to help participants achieve and maintain smoking abstinence.
