How to stop smoking: smokers 40 per day closes after 50 years

A woman from Devon who stopped smoking after more than 50 years has asked other smokers take advantage of expert help for free.
Ann Veit, 68, smoked about 40 a day from the age of 15 and suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
She began attending the weekly NHS stop smoking clinic in March this year, and noticed significant benefits to your health and well-being, and to resign.
In particular, routine tests showed a significant improvement in lung function.
"Breathing is easier, more energy, my self-esteem has improved and he no longer feels like an outcast," Ann, who livesnear Axminster said.
"I can also see the financial benefits - I have more money in my wallet at the end of the week."
Ann receives individualized support Lucy Drury, a consultant specialist smoking cessation for health promotion Devon (HPD).
"Lucy is a wonderful supporter who takes things at my own pace," Ann, manager of information systems says removed.
"It is never judgmental or condescending, and projects a sincere desire to help and concern for my well-being.
"If everyone stop trying to have a defender like Lucy, there would be many more smokers reformed."
Ann, who has the support to stop smoking using patches and inhalers, is encouraging others to visit your local clinic to quit NHS.
HPD, a specialist arm of the North Devon Healthcare NHS Trust, runs a clinic in Axminster medical practice every Friday, and three sessions per week in Honiton.
Ann said: "Do not go alone when it is excellent help available that does not use tricks and understands that it is not easy to quit.
"Talk to your doctor and give it a try. Improving self-esteem when you've managed to stop a great feeling. Use my mantra to never stop quitting."
Ann had tried to quit three times unsuccessfully - to try hypnosis, acupuncture and remedies.
She says, "After a severe attack of pneumonia, which left me in the hospital, I realized I should stop or he would not last long."
She said: "I sincerely hope that I have learned the lesson of the stupidity of smoking and will do my best to resist the temptation.
"It's hard, but never quit quitting. If I can do it after 50 odd years, there is hope for everyone."
