Compassionate support + free NRT. Your journey to freedom begins now.

We're a local stop-smoking service rooted in Ladywood, working in partnership with Birmingham City Council to help our community live longer, healthier, smoke-free lives — without shame, without pressure, just real expert support.

Our Story

Local people, helping local people quit for good

The Quit Smoking Clinic Ladywood was set up with one clear belief: that everyone in Birmingham deserves friendly, expert help to quit smoking — no matter their background, age or how many times they've tried before.

We know quitting is one of the hardest things you'll ever do. We also know that with the right support, you're three times more likely to succeed. That's why we built a service that feels human first, clinical second — somewhere you can walk in, sit down, and be heard.

Every member of our team is NCSCT-accredited (that's the National Centre for Smoking Cessation and Training — the gold standard for stop-smoking advisors in the UK). And because we're proud partners of Birmingham City Council, the full 12-week programme — plus free Nicotine Replacement Therapy and vapes — is free for people who don't pay for NHS prescriptions, and just one single prescription charge for the entire 12 weeks if you do.

Our Approach

What makes us different

We're not a hotline. We're not an app. We're people who know your name.

Zero judgement

Smoking is an addiction, not a character flaw. We treat every person who walks through our door with respect, warmth, and zero lectures.

Real human relationships

You'll see the same advisor at every check-in. They'll remember your story, your wins, your triggers — because real change happens through real relationships.

Evidence-based methods

Everything we do is built on what the science says actually works: combination NRT, behavioural support, fortnightly check-ins, and a personalised plan.

We're proud to be part of Birmingham's official stop-smoking offer — which is why we can keep costs so low and offer free NRT.

  • Offer 12 weeks of evidence-based support, free for most and council-funded for everyone eligible
  • Supply free Nicotine Replacement Therapy and vapes*
  • Run outreach clinics in community venues across Birmingham
  • Provide specialist support for pregnant smokers, mental health, and long-term conditions

*Free Nicotine Replacement Therapy and vapes are provided where clinically appropriate and subject to assessment by your advisor. NHS prescription-charge rules may apply if you normally pay for prescriptions. See our full terms for details.
