Success story

"I am seventy four, and I’ve been thinking about stopping smoking for a long time. One morning I decided to give it a try. If you want to give up cigarettes, you need to be firm with yourself. I would also suggest looking for an organisation to help you and finding someone you have confidence in. When I felt weaker, I called my support lady for encouragement. I was a smoker for forty years, and I always thought I couldn’t do it until she told me that I can. I feel better now that I don’t smoke. I wish I’d done it earlier."
