Smokefree Hampshire and Smokefree Island: New Smoking Cessation Service Provider

April 1, 2025

Thrive Tribe, in partnership with Hampshire County Council and Isle of Wight Council, will become the new Smokefree Hampshire and Smokefree Island smoking cessation service provider.

Launching on 1 April 2025, the service will provide a range of tailored support options, including:

·       Digital self-managed video programme – on-demand support with stress management, cravings, and habit-building.

·       One-to-one and group support – in-person or remote telephone consultations with expert advisors.

·       Cut Down to Stop programme – gradual smoking reduction with nicotine replacement therapy and behavioural support.

·       Specialist support – dedicated services for young people, pregnant individuals, and those at high risk of relapse.

·       Support for nicotine-dependent users – includes those looking to quit vapes, nicotine pouches, or other smokeless tobacco products.

All clients will receive quit aids, including free Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT), such as patches, gum and inhalators, stop smoking medication, or vapes, as well as access to a web app to track progress and receive additional support.

As with all their programmes, Thrive Tribe aims to bring an innovative client-centred behaviour change approach to Hampshire and the Isle of Wight to deliver successful smokefree outcomes for clients.

All health, care and community professionals are invited to join one of our launch webinars to learn more about referral pathways, eligibility, and support options available to clients.

“We’re thrilled to be afforded the opportunity to deliver the smoking cessation services in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. Our programmes, which start on 1st April, will be delivered from key community locations, primary care practices, and a wide range of pharmacies and vape stores to ensure it is accessible to all residents. This is a fantastic opportunity for us to work together to meet local demand for a free stop smoking service providing flexible solutions and specialised tailored help for residents.”
