Wendy was encouraged to stop smoking following a conversation with her practice nurse. Rather than going it alone, her nurse suggested getting support from Sheffield Smokefree. Wendy worked with Stop Smoking Advisor Sharon and at her first appointment they talked through our 12 week quit programme and the various ways we can offer support.
Wendy opted to use a vape, which was provided for 12 weeks. She was really determined to quit and by switching to the vape she found it easier to manage cravings. She's now 12 weeks free from any tobacco use and really feels more like her old self, with more energy - she feels far less breathless and her breathing now causes her to worry less.
She found her 1-to-1 appointments with her advisor really, really helpful. She felt she had the time and space to talk openly and every session really boosted her confidence.
From your advisor Sharon and the rest of the Smokefree Sheffield team we would like to say a HUGE WELL DONE to Wendy! Keep it up and enjoy your life free from tobacco.
