Stopping smoking: Irene's story

Irene Healy is a volunteer at our Involvement Centre. She agreed to give up smoking for a month and to tell us about her experiences. We're sharing Irene's story as part of World COPD Day.




Why I wanted to give up


I wanted to stop smoking for a number of reasons, but mainly for my health. I believe it will give me another ten years’ life and that means I would be able to spend ten more years with my kids and grandkids. I’m ready to change my habit.
