Nasir

Nasir Ahmed successfully stopped smoking in February 2023 with the support from the Yorkshire Smoke-Free Doncaster Service.

Nasir’s motivation to stop smoking was to improve his health and wellbeing, and he realised stopping smoking was the only way to achieve this. Nasir's successful quit sparked interest and inspiration, which motivated his close friends and community members at his local mosque, Jamia Masjid Sultania.
When Nasir realised the interest, he then reached out to Yorkshire Smoke-Free Doncaster. The service agreed to work in partnership and create an opportunity in the heart of his community to access the free service.
A promotional stall was set up in the beautiful foyer to raise awareness before Jumma prayers at 2 pm and after. This was a huge success; the service managed to get 7 people to sign up for the service.

In fact, Nasir's wife came out of her prayers to thank the service for all our help; she said, "My husband smells better and looks a picture of health; I am incredibly thankful and grateful for you all supporting my husband. He is an inspiration to his brothers here at his mosque."
