"Getting smoke free"

I was under a lot of stress due to family ill health and found myself having to look after more than I could possibly manage. My voice started to break and got to the point where I was having difficulty speaking.

My smoking probably increased and I also tried vaping to combat this. My doctors referred me for a two week appointment which means they are concerned I may have cancer.

I was advised to stop smoking and am still waiting for the results of my biopsy. I asked for help from the no smoking service and my advisor has been a massive support. I am now one month free of smoking and am so grateful.
