Frequently Asked Questions (Smoking Cessation)
Why should I consider quitting smoking?
Quitting smoking has numerous health benefits, including reducing the risk of heart disease, stroke, lung cancer, and other serious health conditions. It also improves overall well-being and quality of life.
How can Fastheal Pharmacy help me quit smoking?
Our pharmacy offers a comprehensive smoking cessation service that includes personalized consultations, nicotine replacement therapy, prescription medications, behavioral support, follow-up appointments, and educational resources to help you quit smoking successfully.
What is Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT)?
NRT provides a safer alternative to smoking by delivering nicotine in controlled doses through patches, gums, lozenges, inhalers, or nasal sprays. It helps reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings, making it easier to quit smoking.
Are there prescription medications available to help me quit smoking?
Yes, prescription medications such as varenicline (Champix) and bupropion (Zyban) can assist with smoking cessation by reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Our pharmacists can advise on the suitability of these medications and provide prescriptions if appropriate.
What happens during a smoking cessation consultation?
During a consultation, our pharmacists will assess your smoking habits, discuss your quit goals, and create a personalized quit plan. They will provide advice on NRT options, prescription medications, and behavioral strategies to help you quit smoking.
How often will I need follow-up appointments?
Follow-up appointments are scheduled based on your individual needs and progress. Regular follow-ups help monitor your progress, address challenges, and provide ongoing support to keep you on track.
What if I relapse and start smoking again?
Relapse is a common part of the quit journey. Our pharmacists will help you understand the reasons for relapse, provide strategies to overcome it, and support you in getting back on track with your quit plan.
Are smoking cessation services covered by insurance?
Coverage for smoking cessation services varies by insurance provider. We recommend checking with your insurance company to determine what services are covered under your plan.
How can I stay motivated to quit smoking?
Staying motivated can be challenging, but setting clear goals, tracking your progress, seeking support from family and friends, and using behavioral strategies can help. Our pharmacists will provide ongoing motivation and encouragement throughout your quit journey.
