After the birth of his third child, Richard from Horton in Bradford knew it was time to quit smoking. He’d tried to quit before but this time he was determined to do it for his family. He’s been quit for more than a year and is enjoying having more money in his pocket and spending less time smoking and more time with his children.

Richard who is a business development officer for a charity, says: “I grew up in care and started smoking when I was 12 as I wanted to belong to a group. When you’re that age you don’t realise the hold it’s going to have on you for the rest of your life.

“I tried to quit lots of times but it’s a strong addiction to beat, however, when my son was born, I was determined to quit for good.
