Jill wanted to stop smoking for the sake of her health. She contacted Yorkshire Smokefree in Normanton and is now officially smoke-free! Here's Jill's story in her own words:
"I saw my advisor at a stop smoking clinic in Normanton. My reason for wanting to stop smoking was my health. I was admitted to hospital with pneumonia and chest infection, and it really scared me, so I thought right now is the time to stop!
I did not believe for a second I would quit but with the support and the treatment it made a big difference. I tried the patches and was really pleased with them and with myself, as I reduced from 25mg to 10mg in no time and at 8 weeks I was treatment free - nothing at all!
I can breathe better, walk further, no more coughing, can smell and taste my food and have saved a lot of money. I have even recommended a couple of my friends to the service too!
There is always someone to help and to talk to so if you want to quit, do it! Best thing I ever did, don’t give up! My life is so much better now I am smoke free and your purse will be a lot fuller!"
Congratulations on your quit, Jill. Your advisor Marie is incredibly proud of you!
