If you are a smoker and want to give up for
good, help is at hand in Knowsley.
To mark World Tobacco Day (Sunday, 31 May)
residents are being reminded that the Knowsley Stop Smoking Service
offers free and convenient support which can help you quit for
good.
Peter Lee had smoked for 60 years before he
decided to quit six months ago with the Knowsley Stop Smoking
Service. Prior to quitting Peter had always found a reason to carry
on smoking but the support he got from the drop in session he
attended in Stockbridge Village helped him to make quitting his
priority.
He said: “You can always find excuses to keep
smoking but they helped me to get focused on why I wanted to stop
and keep with it.”
Since finishing his quit programme Peter is
really positive about the benefits of stopping smoking. “I haven’t
looked back and I feel unstoppable; I love travelling and since
quitting I’ve got more money to spend on holidays and have just got
back from a trip to Malta.”
Anyone wanting to quit smoking can find out
