Sisters, Carol Downing and Karen Craven, from Doncaster quit smoking together after Karen became seriously ill with legionnaires pneumonia. Now they’ve both quit, they’ve got more money for holidays and days out together.

Karen became ill while on holiday and was diagnosed with Legionnaires Pneumonia which you get from breathing in Legionella bacteria. It can affect your lungs, brain and gut and is more serious if you smoke as your lungs are already damaged from smoking.

Seventy one year old Carol says: “I thought Karen was going to die, it was one of the scariest times of my life.”
