"My quitting smoking journey."

About: Promoting Well Being / Stop Smoking Service

(as the patient),

Hi. I've been a smoker for roughly 20 years.

I heard about the help to quit service so I said I would give it a go.

I went with the spray and inhalator, they spray worked best for me.

As a smoker you say to yourself, oh no that wouldn't work for me, when I want a smoke I just want a smoke.

But how quickly the nicotine spray takes the want for a cigarette away is nothing short of amazing.

I would strongly advise any smoker to try the nicotine as a substitute. I was amazed.
