Share your smokefree story

Are you an ex-smoker? Your smokefree story could inspire others to quit, just like you did.

“If my story encourages just one person to pick up the phone and get support to quit, then it’s worth it. The support I received from Yorkshire Smokefree changed my life.” 

– Linda, Ex-smoker Sheffield

We want to know what inspired you to quit smoking, what support you had along the way and how it made a difference to your life. Stories like yours can help to empower people in so many ways.

So, are you ready to tell your story?

Here’s how we can bring your story to life.

We might share your story in many ways

• Our social media channels: Engage members of the Smokefree Sheffield community on Facebook and Twitter.
• Printed promotional materials: From small scale posters and flyers to larger billboards.
• Video stories: We often produce video and audio content based on real life stories. You can feature yourself if you’d like to.

Your story, your choice.
