Hi Naomi, congratulations on your quit! 12 weeks smoke-free is fantastic and your stop smoking advisors at Smokefree Sheffield are proud of you! Let's do a quick Q&A...
What are your reasons for stopping smoking?
I wanted to give up the cigarettes due to some health conditions and to losing someone close.
Have you stopped smoking previously?
I have previously stopped smoking for 2 weeks but didn't last long.
Before your first appointment, did you believe you would be successful?
Yes…
Did you use stop smoking medication to help you quit?
No. I chose to switch to a vape instead. It helped me a lot!
What do you like the most about been a non-smoker / quit?
I most like having a clean and nicotine free home. I can now walk faster and not out of breath.
Has your health improved since your quit and if so, in what ways?
Yes… I've lost over a stone and my dental hygiene is back to normal.
Other than health, have you achieved anything since quitting that you couldn’t do whilst smoking?
Keeping fit and not wanting to light up a fag.
What have you found helpful whilst accessing Sheffield Smokefree service?
I've found the help from my smoking coach very helpful and learning the different techniques to cope.
