“I’m 64 years old and for years I was smoking 40 cigarettes a day. I was spending around £29.50 every single day without really thinking about it. When I look back now, that’s a lot of money and a lot of harm to my health.

I’ve now been smoke free for one month, and that feels huge for me. It hasn’t been easy. There are moments when I still think about it, but I remind myself why I started and how far I’ve already come. I’m determined not to go back.

Instead of spending my money on cigarettes, I’ve treated myself to a beautiful Pandora ring as a reward. Every time I look at it, it reminds me of what I’ve achieved. One month down, and I’m proud of myself.”
