Description
NHS (National Health Services) Stop Smoking Services provide counseling and support to smokers wanting to quit, complementing the use of stop smoking aids (NRT, Zyban and Champix). There are three main pharmacotherapies prescribed for the treatment of smoking dependence in England: Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT), Bupropion (Zyban) and Varenicline (Champix).
The number of prescription items dispensed in England in 2019-2020 was 710 thousand, compared to 2.48 million ten years ago. Prescription items dispensed peaked at 2.56 million in 2010/11. In 2019/20, 379 thousand items of NRT were dispensed, down from 396 thousand in 2018/19, and around a quarter of the total of ten years ago in 2009/10 (1.56 million). 304 thousand items of Varenicline were dispensed in 2019/20, compared with a peak of 987 thousand items in 2010/11. Bupropion is the least common item, with 27 thousand dispensed in 2019/20, over a 10% increase from 2018/19 (24 thousand), accelerating the upward trend since 2014/15.
