68 year old from Hawkinge has been singing the praises of the East Kent Stop Smoking Service after kicking the habit in just eight weeks.
 

Hawkinge villager Janet Kingsbury had smoked since she was 14, but was told she needed to give up smoking as she was due to go in to hospital for an operation.

With the help of her son, Janet was referred to a Stop Smoking Advisor, who guided and supported Janet to give up smoking.

Janet used patches initially but found the one to one support crucial to her being able to give up.

Janet said: “The way I was treated was fantastic, I was not judged and given all the help I needed. I was treated as an individual and the service I received was first class.

"I would recommend the East Kent Stop Smoking Service to anyone””
