My hair stays in place and I am not getting caught in the rain from smoking.

The benefits I have you found since quitting smoking are: I also attended Allerton Library Smokefree Liverpool drop in before the lockdown regularly and seeing the specialist advisors really helped. I also used an inhalator when I went on a night out. My quit is going good, in a way lockdown might have helped because I live in a non-smoking house where there is less temptation around (no tobacco around whereas there would have been copious amounts in a beer garden etc). I suppose I have had a few more cravings with the stress and boredom, but lockdown has made it more difficult to purchase tobacco which means that I have not given in to cravings 😊. Regarding the COVID-19, I have had increased anxiety as I think most people have. Quitting was not easy at first, in fact it was very difficult, but once I got out of the habit the rest became easier. The price of cigarettes was going up and I was constantly looking for money. I was smoking about 10 cigarettes a day for the past 8 years and now I am nearly 4 months Smokefree! I decided to quit mainly for financial reasons. Tell yourself you can overcome your habit and then do as I did, just stop! At first you may not succeed but stopping for any length of time will do you no harm and you may find that you have more willpower than you think and like me, one day of stopping leads to a year of stopping! ?” If you want to stop smoking, decide when you want to stop and then prepare yourself mentally.

A feeling of satisfaction in knowing that I could overcome my addiction.

My general overall health has improved my chest feels clear and my breathing is improving.

If going out I do not have to worry about where and how I can have a smoke.

Extra money, smoking is now very expensive.

My Main Benefits from stopping smoking are

I haven’t used any aids such as patches, chewing gum etc as wanting to stop was the most important motivation for me. I attend Smokefree Liverpool at Garston library where I find chatting to other people and the advisor Sarah helps. This helped as did the extra money I now had which I spent on things that I wanted but had not been able to afford whilst smoking. I really made up my mind that I wanted to stop and after some initial discomfort I soon felt better for stopping. Quitting was actually not as hard as I thought or was led to believe that it would be. I also had the niggling desire to stop smoking for some time. I decided to quit for several reasons, the cost, my health and one being a smoking related death of a close friend.
