I stopped smoking because of a heart attack scare and the high cost. Although I had tried to quit before, I didn't believe I could succeed.

Using a vape to quit, along with medication, helped me on my journey. Feeling better in myself also played a big part.

Even though I didn't visit the Yorkshire Smokefree Client Zone, their support was still invaluable. Face-to-face appointments and their convenient venue made it easier for me to access help.

Since quitting, I no longer smell of cigarette smoke, and my fingers aren't stained yellow anymore. My health has improved too—I can breathe better and have more energy.

Being a non-smoker has given me a sense of freedom. Quitting smoking has been a positive change in my life, and I'm grateful for the support that helped me achieve it.
