Stop Smoking Programme
You probably already know that giving up smoking is good for your health. However, quitting is often not just a matter of willpower. For many people, smoking is linked to specific times of day, relaxation, habits or coping with stress. That is why giving up can be difficult, even if you have wanted to quit for some time.
At the same time, giving up smoking can bring you many benefits. Greater control over your choices. More freedom to live your life without being dependent on a cigarette. More energy and a greater sense that you are in control, rather than the habit. Your body often recovers more quickly than you might think.
With the Rondom Leefstijl Stop Smoking Programme, you don’t have to quit on your own. You’ll receive support from an accredited stop-smoking coach who will work with you to identify what you need to become and remain smoke-free. You set the pace yourself, and together we’ll work on changes that suit your lifestyle.
Would you like to register? You can do so via our appointment scheduler.
What do we offer?
With the Stop Smoking Programme, you will receive personalised support to help you give up smoking. We look not only at the moment you stop, but also at the habits, situations and choices that influence your smoking behaviour.
Together, you will work on maintaining motivation, managing temptations, changing habits and preventing relapse. You will draw up a personalised plan to quit and develop new habits that fit in with your daily life.
Throughout the process, we support you by advising, motivating and guiding you, and by offering our input at times when it is difficult to carry on.
The programme
The stop smoking programme lasts 3 months and is followed by 1 year of aftercare. During the aftercare period, we’ll keep in touch regularly and support you in maintaining a smoke-free lifestyle. Intensive guidance and longer-term support can help you stick to your decision to stop smoking and reduce the risk of relapse.
The programme includes, amongst other things:
- coaching sessions;
- advise, motivate and support;
- gain an insight into smoking behaviour and habits;
- drawing up a personalised cessation plan;
- tasks and exercises;
- support during difficult times;
- guidance on preventing relapse;
- access to support via the Rondom app.
On-site or online
The Stop Smoking Programme is available at the following practice locations:
Would you prefer to follow the programme online? That’s also an option. You’ll then have video call appointments and telephone sessions with your coach. The content and support provided by the programme remain the same.
