Paul’s Story: From 50 Roll-Ups a Day to a Smoke-Free Life

Referred by his GP, Paul sought our smoking support for medical reasons, beginning a life-changing journey to better health, more energy, and freedom from smoking.

Why Paul Reached Out

Smoking had long been a part of Paul’s life—up to 50 roll-ups a day. But after facing health issues and undergoing surgery on his leg, he knew it was time for a change. Motivated by medical concerns and encouraged by his GP, Paul made the brave step to reach out to One You Surrey.

A Journey of Progress and Support

Paul quickly connected with Bryony, his dedicated stop smoking advisor, and began attending regular CO (carbon monoxide) readings and appointments both face-to-face and over the phone. The flexibility of support meant that even when he couldn’t make it to the clinic, he was still guided every step of the way.

“The support was there even if I couldn’t get into the clinic—I got a telephone appointment. I don’t think I would have done it without the support,” Paul shared.

He also benefited from Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) products, which helped curb cravings. Combined with ongoing support and encouragement, these tools proved to be a game-changer.

Top Benefits Paul Experienced

  1. ✅ Regular CO readings that showed his progress
  2. ✅ Effective use of NRT products to manage cravings
  3. ✅ Weekly support, both in-person and by phone
  4. ✅ Saving money—no more spending on tobacco!

 

How Paul Feels Now

Today, Paul doesn’t miss the roll-ups. He feels much better physically, and even while recovering from surgery, he has noticed a positive shift in his wellbeing since quitting.

“I used to smoke 50 roll-ups a day and feel much better for it. I have just been recovering from operation on leg too. “
