James attended telephone support and face to face stop smoking sessions for regular carbon monoxide readings with advisor Carrie. Here's what he told us about his experience of Yorkshire Smokefree Wakefield.
"I have been smoking for around 25 years and have been able to quit with the support from the service which has been good, easy to deal with and caring. I feel that the tablets (Varenicline) need a mention as these have helped me with my quit attempt. I have so far saved at least £150 in 4 weeks of quitting and feel I can play with my kids more.
My breathing is better and notice walking to school is so much easier now. My smell and taste have improved, so much so that I notice other people's smoke very much and it really turns me off. I smell so much better which I am sure my kids will love. I can go out somewhere and not have to plan my smoking breaks and going on the train or public places is so much easier when I am not thinking about my next cigarette."
Congratulations on your quit, James! Carrie and the wider team in Wakefield are incredibly proud of you. Keep it up and keep enjoying the benefits of a life free from tobacco.
