Stuart successfully quit smoking with the support of Yorkshire Smokefree in Wakefield and is starting to feel some massive health benefits. Here's his story in his own words...
“I attended telephone support clinics every week with my stop smoking advisor Simon, and I was given options, choices and information to help me decided what was right for me as I attempted my quit.
I attended my carbon monoxide readings appointments at Lupset Community Centre with Carrie at weeks 4, 8 and 12. I really could not have done it without the Yorkshire Smokefree service which helped me stay strong throughout the 12 week course. I have felt some MASSIVE health benefits; having had asthma all my life I even think this has gone now I have quit smoking! I have an asthma review coming up but I am not even using my inhalers anymore. I ran the whole length of the beach with my dog and think even the dog had trouble keeping up!”
Well done on quitting smoking, Stuart. Both Simon and Carrie are incredibly proud of everything you have achieved!
