John from Cutler Heights quit smoking with the Living Well Stop Smoking Service

John smoked for many years, starting at the age of 13. He finally decided he wanted to stop smoking for a variety of reasons, mostly to improve his health and help him cope with long term health condition COPD, but also because it was costing him a fortune.

John was supported by Living Well stop smoking advisors to quit and found it such a positive experience he has gone on to encourage friends and family to get in touch with them too!

Since quitting John feels fitter, very proud and much more confident. He’s noticed a big improvement in his breathing and is managing everyday tasks a lot better. He’s also financially much better off, with the money he’s saved from not smoking he’s been able to buy things he wanted for himself and for his home.

If you’re ready to start your own quit journey, you’re three times more likely to quit using the Living Well stop smoking service.
