Edward is 59 and lives in Liverpool. He joined the service via text after initially hearing about us through his GP.
“I was smoking for over 45 years and knew that I needed to stop. I wanted to quit for my health because I’d been diagnosed with COPD, I was having a lot of chest infections and my breathing was getting worse. I also wanted to quit for financial reasons too as everything is getting more expensive these days, plus it wasn’t fair on my wife for me to be spending a lot of money on cigarettes”.
“I joined Smokefree Liverpool and I chose to use the patches and lozenges to help me with my quit attempt. I had regular calls from my advisor throughout which I found really helpful."
Soon, I will be 1 year smoke free, cigarettes don’t bother me at all. I have even bought some new things for my home, kitchen appliances, bought two new TVs and even a couple of nice coats. I couldn’t have done it without the help, this service has been brilliant and I would recommend it anyone.”

“ For those who are wanting to quit, don’t put it off - do it for financial reasons and health!”
