Unsure at first

Yes I used lozenges, they really worked.

How helpeful did you find it?

Apart from medication, what else helped you to quit and stay smokefree?

The support I got from the hub team, I couldn't have done it without them

No, I have not got a computer

My breathing is so much better, and my energy level has also improved

Has the current lockdown helped with your quit or has this made quitting harder?

The lockdown maybe kick started my quit, however I was determined and needed to quit.

What have you found helpful accessing the service via the Telephone?

The convenience of not having to travel to a clinic, and appointments that suited me.
