Michelle, Halifax
Michelle had been smoking for more than half her life when she found herself becoming increasingly concerned about her health and her ability to look after her children in the future.
Michelle was deeply shocked when someone close to her died of a smoking-related illness and she decided to look online and find out more about quitting smoking.
The first 3 months were a challenge but just do 1 day at a time. I used patches and bought chewing gum for when I had the craving, be strong and you can do it. Good luck!
Vicky, 24, West London
