Angela decided to quit smoking after a health scare made her realise it was time to make a change. Although she was initially unsure, Angela took her first steps toward quitting with support from Yorkshire Smokefree. She used patches provided by the service and her own vape. Quitting wasn't easy, but Angela found creative ways to manage, including an anxiety necklace and even holding a roll-up tip to mimic the feeling of a cigarette.

Since quitting, Angela feels cleaner, breathes more easily, and no longer struggles with coughing and spluttering when she laughs. She also noticed how much fresher she smells. While saving money wasn’t her main goal, she’s pleased to see some extra funds as a bonus.

Angela’s journey is a testament to the power of determination and support in making positive life changes.
