We kicked the habit and you can too, say Steve and Pam

EX-SMOKERS Steve and Pam Land, who kicked their 35-year, 20-a-day habit together are urging others to follow their example.

The couple, of Kiveton Park, reckon they’ve saved £2,100 in seven months since quitting when Steve became ill.

Now Steve (56) and Pam (59) are backing a month-long campaign running throughout October to get others to stop.

The national Stoptober campaign co-incides with the tenth anniversary of Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust’s Stop Smoking Service. and events are planned throughout the month.

The campaign was launched at Rotherham Hospital and Steve said: “The best thing for me is when my granddaughter puts her arms around me and says how nice it is that I don’t stink of cigarettes anymore. It makes it all worthwhile.

“My advice to anyone who wants to stop smoking is don’t stop trying to stop. The benefits of stopping smoking, both for your health and finances, are huge so it’s definitely worth it.”
