Having given up smoking, Michelle is now valuing family time.

Having given up, I’ve found out that I am better off without the cigarettes

I remind myself of all the good things in my life - it reframes my outlook on life.

I smoked for 54 years, but once I’d decided to give up, I stuck with it.

Wherever I went I had to think, what will people think of me for smoking?

I felt like the cigarettes were laughing at me saying ‘now what are you going to do?’ I didn’t like that.

It doesn’t matter how many times you have tried to quit, or how long each quit attempt has lasted, there is always hope.

Find out why you smoke. Look at the habits you have in your life and think about why you have them.

I wasn’t enjoying it. I was sick of doing it. I kept remembering what it was like seeing my dad struggle to breathe.

I couldn't have done it without Gemma. That one-to-one support made all the difference.

My lifestyle is better. I’m breathing easier. I’ve got more money in my pocket.
