My decision to quit smoking was driven by both health concerns and the desire to save money. Although I had attempted to quit before, I inevitably relapsed, doubting my ability to succeed.
This time, with the support of stop-smoking medication and guidance from my advisor Sharon, along with my own determination, I embarked on a more successful journey. I gradually reduced my cigarette intake using an e-cigarette, finding it easier to resist cravings with each passing day.
Since quitting, I've noticed significant improvements in my health. The return of my sense of taste and smell has been a delightful surprise, and the absence of nightly wheezing has brought me peace of mind.
Accessing Yorkshire Smokefree services played a pivotal role in my success. The local support and access to medication provided me with the tools I needed to stay on track.
Now, as a non-smoker, I revel in the new found sense of freedom and freshness that accompanies this lifestyle change. Quitting smoking has been a challenging journey, but the rewards of improved health and well-being make every step worth it.
