"She was brilliant and really motivated me to keep going"

About: Fife Community Services / Stop Smoking Service

(as a service user),

I started vaping to quit smoking about 10 years ago. Unfortunately,  I found that I was more addicted to the vape and had just replaced one addiction with another. I have an 8yr old daughter and wanted to quit vaping for health reasons and to ensure that she wouldnt follow in my footsteps, but really didn't think that I could do it. 

I started attending smoking cessation appointments with Layla in Glenrothes hospital and the advice and support I received was second to none. Layla was brilliant and really motivated me to keep going. I tried the inhaler to begin with, then switched to nicotine chewing gum, and it was a game changer. It was definitely hard to begin with but regular appointments with Layla, I found I had the motivation to keep going.

I have just attended my last appointment today and can now confidently say that I am a non vaper. 

I can't thank Layla enough, I really don't think I would have been able to quit without her excellent support and advice. 

Thank you, Layla!! 😊
