Smoking & Vaping Cessation
Pharmacy-led support to help you quit smoking or vaping, at your own pace and on your own terms.
Whether you are trying to quit smoking or cut down on vaping, we offer a structured, pharmacist-guided programme using the Quixotic device by Quix Labs. Unlike standard vapes available in shops, the Quixotic is sold exclusively through pharmacies and comes with a clear step-down plan built in.
Here, you work through the strengths at a pace that suits you, with a pharmacist supporting you at every stage. The Quixotic is also free from the harmful chemicals linked to conditions like popcorn lung. And beyond the device itself, Quix Labs has its own community platform called Quixotic, where you can track your progress, see how much money you have saved, and connect with others on the same journey.
Did You Know?
Overtaken
For the first time in 2024, more UK adults vape than smoke, with 5.4 million vapers compared to 4.9 million smokers.
Hooked
Around 55% of current vapers in the UK are ex-smokers, meaning many people switched to quit but never actually stopped their nicotine dependency.
Withdrawal
Nicotine withdrawal symptoms typically peak within 3 days and ease significantly within a week with the right support in place.
Consistency
Nicotine addiction is a physical dependency, not a character flaw. Structured, guided support makes quitting significantly more likely.
