Quitters on the winning team to beat smoking habit

There are now more people who have quit smoking than smokers in Ireland and Amanda White, who kicked the habit more than a year ago, says it the best thing she ever did.

Amanda from Nenagh, Co Tipperary, features in a new HSE QUIT campaign that uses real-life stories to encourage smokers to quit for good. She believes the help she got from the QUIT team helped to break her 20-year smoking habit.

“The rang me every single week for the first four weeks, and every morning I woke up to a text, which was brilliant because it was really motivational — they were there for me,” she said.
