Today we’re shining a light on colleagues across MFT who are making positive changes to their health and wellbeing - including Adele, a Nursing Assistant, who has now been smoke‑free for two years.

Adele decided to begin her quit journey after seeing a stop‑smoking support stand on the main corridor during a shift. She had wanted to stop smoking for a long time but didn’t know where to start. The team provided practical guidance, the MFT stop‑smoking app, and 24/7 support from Nurses to help her understand cravings, manage the early challenges, and explore healthier alternatives.

Her motivation was to improve her health, save money, start running, and eventually renovate her kitchen. Since quitting, Adele’s breathing and fitness have improved, she no longer struggles with recurring chest infections, and she was able to save enough to complete her kitchen project!

Today we’re sharing the inspiring journey of Michelle, one of our Clinical Nurse Specialists in Cardiology at Manchester Royal Infirmary, who quit smoking after more than 20 years.

Michelle realised how much her daily life and routines revolved around ci******es and decided she’d had enough. After stopping on 14 May 2024, she reached out for support and found strength through our incredible CURE Team. With guidance, motivation, the Smoke Free app and ni****ne replacement therapy, she managed the early challenges and soon noticed cravings fading.

Quitting has transformed both her work and wellbeing. She no longer worries about smelling of smoke, feels more present with patients, and has seen her chest wheeze disappear. She’s now 1 year and 10 months smoke‑free, healthier, happier, and proud of how far she has come.

On No Smoking Day, Michelle wants others to know that with support, determination and the right tools, change is possible - and that quitting is one of the best decisions you can make.
