With so many people around her who smoked, Muriel picked up smoking at the age of 12, getting up to around 25-30 cigarettes a day.

Jo and the Cure team were the key to helping Shaun break a smoking habit that had lasted over 50 years. They spent time talking through his motivations to stopping, including one that meant everything to him – being around to walk his daughter down the aisle.
Together, they explored different treatment options, with Shaun chosing a nicotine patch and a nicotine inhalator.
Jo also helped Shaun uncover triggers he didn’t even realise he had and supported him in finding ways to overcome them. The regular check-ins, emails and phone calls really made him feel cared for. Listen to their story.
To anyone who wants to quit smoking, this is a major step forward. You can do it, with the right help and support. Go for it, because the benefits are amazing.
