The interview will take place either face-to-face, via Microsoft Teams/Zoom or over the telephone depending on your preference. The interview will take between 45 minutes and one hour.

Your contribution will help us to understand the landscape of smoking cessation services in the UK, and your observations and suggestions may contribute to recommendations for the development of stop smoking services in the UK in the future.
