Is it time to quit?
Once you’ve had your last cigarette, that’s it, your body starts on its journey to repair itself. You start to feel healthier, meaning you can enjoy the things you love more, be more active, and live life to the full. Stopping smoking isn’t easy, but it’s made a whole lot easier by the mountain of support available to you. Stop smoking today, and don’t look back, you know you won’t regret it.
Wishing you the best of health,
Stay safe and be kind,
Your friends at Kirklees Council
