If I carried on smoking I was killing myself, I know I was, I could feel it in my lungs.

Every night I would need my Ventolin, wake up all night wheezing and finding it hard to breathe.

I have a mental illness. I have bipolar and I’m a mum and a grandma, and I’m a reformed smoker.

My someone who was my inspiration to stop smoking is my 5 year old son.

I truly believe it is a something I will struggle with for a while. I still find myself daydreaming and reminiscing about cigarettes.
