Stop-smoking & weight-management support in Malta
Pharmacies are a practical, judgment-free place to get started on quitting smoking or managing your weight — with products, advice and ongoing support from your pharmacist. Here's what's typically available.
Stopping smoking
Pharmacies offer nicotine replacement (patches, gum, lozenges) and advice on using it, plus encouragement and follow-up. Your pharmacist can help you pick an approach and talk through what’s worked — or not — before.
Managing your weight
This may include advice on diet and activity, blood-pressure and blood-sugar checks to track your health, and guidance on products. For medical weight-loss treatments, the pharmacist will advise what needs a doctor.
