I was smoking 20 a day for 45 years and now I’ve been smokefree for 9 months. I knew I had to quit as I was getting out of breath very easily. The price and my grandchildren were other factors that influenced my decision to quit.

Quitting was hard to begin with, but it got a lot easier. I used Champix to help me quit and had a lot of support from Sarah at Speke Health Centre.

The benefits I have found since quitting smoking are;

• I feel a lot healthier
• I don’t smell of smoke anymore
• My breathing is a lot better

If you are serious about quitting, keep at it, it does get easier. Go along to Smokefree Liverpool for free help and support or pick up the phone and call 0800 061 4212.  😁
