After her dad died from heart failure having smoked all of his life, Clair Smith from Leeds knew it was time to quit. She had smoked for nearly 30 years before she quit for good with support from Inspire North Leeds Stop Smoking Service.

“I started smoking when I was around 17 as everyone did it, so I thought I’d try it and that was it. I was hooked and I smoked most of my life. I smoked roll-ups and it varied on daily basis to how much I smoked as it depended on what I was doing. Some days it would be five cigarettes, some days it would be 25.
