* Stop Smoking Doctor

Do you smoke? The Stop Smoking Doctor method can help you stop puffing and start living with the aid of Dr. Alice Byram, a fully qualified and experienced MD specialised in smoking cessation.

So many smokers don't have the time and energy in their busy lives to dedicate themselves to what is an important lifestyle change. However, stopping smoking in Marbella can be a positive and rewarding experience. The best long-term results are obtained by combining medication and cognitive behaviour therapy. The therapy is all about changing habits and is tailored according to the well documented stages people go through when they quit, such as elation, loss and normalization.
