Smokefree Success Stories
Having been a smoker for over 30 years, and after several failed methods and attempts to quit, I have finally found the right support to become an ex-smoker. They gave me the tools and taught me how to use them and above all they helped me find the will and confidence to finally be free of this harmful addiction.
Very helpful and professional stop smoking service, after 25 years of smoking with there help I’ve finally quit. Thanks
The support I was given was fantastic.
I have not smoked or even had the craving to smoke for 9 months.
This team are immense and could not have done it without their help.
Just to say that I'm now 12 weeks into my programme and I am delighted to say that I am now a non smoker!
The support from Tina has been outstanding from start to finish, the Communication has been consistent and friendly non judgemental and had helped me immensely through my journey, I would recommend the clinic and Tina to friends & Family with confidence , thanks again🙏🏼
