No I didn't, but I managed it and did so well

Yes I did, I found it very helpful and it made it easier to stop smoking

Determination

Did you visit the Yorkshire Smokefree Webpage?

No, I don't have internet

Has your health improved since you quit and if so, in what ways?

Yes, my health improved like lots of conditions and its better

Other than health, have you achieved anything since quitting that you couldn't do whilst smoking?

I saved money and spent it on other things

Has the current lockdown helped with your quit or has this made quitting harder?

I found it harder to stop smoking because of lockdown but easier to quit because of the telephone appointments

It's better than going to the meetings so don't need to travel
