Can I get Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) here?
Yes, as part of the NHS stop smoking service in Hornchurch, we can provide various NRT products where appropriate. These are designed to help ease withdrawal symptoms and may support your chances of quitting successfully compared with stopping unaided.
