The National Smoking Cessation Institute is the largest independent, not-for-profit stop-smoking service in the UK, with 200 branches nationwide.The Southampton branch provides the Institute's hypnotherapy programme, but we also have an acupuncture programme and the Phoenix Stop-Smoking Programme for the hardest cases.All NSCI branches are staffed by qualified and experienced therapists who have a specialist interest in helping smokers to stop, and every programme includes free life membership of NSCI QuitClub, to help you to stay stopped for ever.If you are not sure which therapy will be right for you, do visit the website at stopsmoking.coop, where you will also find a series of videos that are truly inspirational and very helpful. Alternatively, call the NSCI national helpdesk on 0845 345 2092 / 01273 945 965 and speak with one of our counsellors who will advise you.
