What our teens say

Alice* is worried as she can't take a deep breath anymore and is coughing more.
Alice* is 14 years old. She smokes and vapes and has done so since she was 12, and we were recommended to help her quit. Alice is worried as she can’t take a deep breath anymore and coughing more. She was a bit nervous at first, but realised we were just here to help with tips and advice on how to quit. She’s doing really well and getting there.
Brooke* is 16 years old and was vaping almost constantly. She came to us to get free NRT (nicotine replacement therapy – gums, lozenges and patches). We helped her decide which products would be best for her and how to use them properly. The good news is she has cut down to at least half that many puffs a day, and this will only get lower in time. Her family are so proud of her.
