Billy stopped smoking with the support of Yorkshire Smokefree in Wakefield. Here's his story, in his own words...
"I tried to quit smoking with Yorkshire Smokefree Wakefield last year, but felt it wasn’t the right time. I came back to the service this year to try again, and have succeeded. I am 12 weeks quit now and feeling confident that I will never go back to smoking.
I am feeling so much better in myself. I used to get really out of breath, but this doesn’t happen as much now. I can walk long distances in one go, whereas previously I had to use my asthma inhalers a lot more.
Feeling better also motivated me to get myself fitter in general, and I am working out a lot more. I’ve also noticed a big impact on my finances.
My Mum and Dad saw how well I was doing, and decided to join me in quitting smoking. We are all feeling the benefits and are really happy to have quit."
Well done Billy - you knew the time was right and went for it! You are amazing!
