"I’ve been smoking for about 16 years. I was smoking more than 20 cigarettes a day. I’ve been trying to quit for a while.
This time I used a vape. I had to use my own willpower as well as the vape, and support from Shaun, my stop smoking advisor in Calderdale. It was important for me to quit for my health and to make my mum happy.
I’ve been quit for over a year now. My sense of smell has improved; I can move faster and it’s easier to breathe. As well as health benefits, I’m saving over £100 per week, money I would have spent on cigarettes. I like gaming and have treated myself to some new games. The support from Shaun has been great.
If I were giving advice to other smokers, it would be quit while you can. Smoking will ruin your health and your life."
