Quit Smoking: Stay Connected with Bute Pharmacy

Quitting smoking is one of the best decisions you can make for your health. At Bute Pharmacy, located in the heart of Rothesay on the beautiful Isle of Bute, we understand the challenges that come with this journey. Our mission is to provide you with the support and resources you need to successfully quit smoking.

Understanding the Benefits of Quitting

When you stop smoking, your body begins to heal almost immediately. Within just 20 minutes, your heart rate drops. After 12 hours, carbon monoxide levels in your blood return to normal. Long-term benefits include a significantly reduced risk of heart disease, stroke, and various types of cancer.

According to the NHS, your chances of quitting rise dramatically when you use support services, including those provided by pharmacies like Bute Pharmacy. This can be in the form of one-on-one advice, nicotine replacement therapy, or prescription medications.
