Ashley & Thorne’s Smokefree Journey:
After a hospital stay, Ashley and Thorne were referred to Hāpainga Stop Smoking Service for support to quit smoking—and they’ve come so far! Both quit and proud of it.
What’s kept them going? Learning about the dangers of carbon monoxide and the impact smoking could have on their pepi (baby). That realisation hit hard—and became their biggest motivation to stay quit.
Now, not only are they feeling better physically and emotionally, but they’ve also got more money in their pockets (with some left before payday too!).
Their story proves: when you’re doing it for the right reasons, change is possible.
