“I’m 60, and I’ve now been smoke free for three months. I used varenicline to help me quit, and honestly, the set-up of the service worked perfectly for me. I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about telephone support at first, but it turned out to be better than I expected. Having regular calls kept me focused and gave me that extra push when I needed it.

Now, I feel great. I’m confident I won’t go back to smoking. I’m really enjoying the savings too, around £200 a month. Instead of spending it on cigarettes, I’m using it to enjoy more weekends out with friends and family. I feel healthier, more social, and in control.”
