"Stopping smoking"

About: Health Promotion Service / Stop Smoking Service

(as a parent/guardian),

I was beginning to smoke heavy and I could tell it was harming me when taking my dog a walk. I also have to climb stairs every day and I knew I wasn't fit and put it down to smoking. I picked up a smoking cessation card from a health centre and decided to give it a try. I struggled at first and reduced my smoking to about 5 per day which was brilliant for me but with the encouragement and support from Laura, I managed to stop altogether. Laura was excellent and she kept giving me goals to achieve. I cannot thank her enough.
