Roy, 45, from Brighouse, quit smoking seven years ago with the help of Yorkshire Smokefree Calderdale. He had smoked since he was a teenager and in his late thirties, he realised that smoking was impacting his health and he wanted to break his addiction to cigarettes.

“I started smoking when I was at college, so I was about 16 I was out with a few of my friends who were smoking, and they egged me on to give it a go. It just felt cool at the time, and I wanted to fit in and be part of the group. I didn’t really think about the fact that after having one, I’d want another one and that’s how it started. I didn’t know cigarettes were bad for me or that they were addictive.
