“I had been smoking for over 20 years and decided to quit to improve my overall health and reduce the risk of serious long-term conditions.

The hardest part for me was not knowing what to expect. I’d never tried to quit before and hadn’t used nicotine replacement therapy either. Once I joined the service and started using NRT, I made changes to my routine and environment, which really helped me stay on track and remain smoke-free.

Working with a Stop For Life coach made a big difference. I was able to get advice on the right NRT to use and the behavioural changes I could make. The appointments were encouraging and gave me a real sense of accountability.

Now I’m smokefree, I’m looking forward to living a healthier lifestyle and being able to breathe much better.”
