Karl has successfully quit smoking with the support of Yorkshire Smokefree in Wakefield. He wanted to share his story with you...

"Prior to my stroke, I worked as an HGV driver meaning long journeys sat stationary.  I would smoke wherever possible to “top up” usually when being loaded, unloaded, stop breaks, in the yard or socialising amounting to 20-30 cigarettes daily. Smoking was always a big part of my working life.

I am currently unable to drive after my stroke, and my HGV licence has been withdrawn. I am in the process of recuperating, struggling for money, and will never smoke again."

Well done on your quit Karl and we wish you a speedy return to good health.
