A family achievement- Tracey’s story

Tracey's motivation to quit smoking was deeply personal—her son has asthma, and she felt it was unfair to continue smoking around him. Although she had tried to quit before, this time she decided she needed help.

Our Stop Smoking Coaches will create a personalised quit plan, with the latest evidenced-based, behavioural change approaches. They will help to make informed decisions about using nicotine replacement products or a vape to help stop smoking and improve health.

Her journey wasn’t without challenges. While she had access to one-one coaching and support, Tracey faced some difficulty with getting the necessary NRT products from pharmacies. However, through the Health Coach’s guidance, she worked around these barriers and stayed on track. With the help of her coach, and the tools provided, Tracey remained committed to her goal.

However, the most surprising part of her story came during her 12-week check-in, when she shared that her husband, daughter, and son had also quit smoking. This wasn’t just Tracey's success—it was a family achievement.

Looking forward, Tracey continues to make healthy choices to maintain her smoke-free lifestyle. She's addressing potential challenges, such as weight gain, with mindful eating and staying active in a new job that keeps her moving.
