As part of our 20 year celebration of Quit Your Way Ayrshire & Arran, we’re spotlighting what motivates our team and the impact their work has across our communities.

Sharon Pentleton, To***co Prevention/Cessation Officer, highlights how transformative stopping smoking can be — not just for a person’s health, but for their quality of life, confidence, and relationships. Her reflections remind us that quitting isn’t only about breaking a habit; it’s about reducing the physical, emotional and financial burden that to***co creates.

Sharon’s passion for supporting people through their quit journey embodies the heart of the service and the difference it continues to make across Ayrshire and Arran.
