Adrian had a heart attack in 2025. That scared him so much he decided he had to stop smoking. Here's what he told us after 12 weeks smoke-free.

"My reason for stopping smoking was my health. I had a heart attack back in October 2025. This really scared me as I am only in my 50’s and partially blind.

The encouragement and help from my advisor have been brilliant and I did not think I would every do this, but with the right support I do believe that anyone can. I did not feel pressured into stopping smoking which made my journey a lot easier knowing I was in control.

I have saved so much money and am able to give back by treating my family much more!

My stepfather came to see my advisor, Marie, last year and is still 52 weeks smoke-free and does not even think about a cigarette now.

Thank you, Yorkshire Smokefree Wakefield!

Well done on your quit Adrian and keep up the hard work. Pop back in in 12 months time with your stepfather to see Marie again.
