Quit smoking in 2021 sounds like the hardest resolution. Expecially during a time of extended lockdowns. But how is this achieved?
I became a smoker in my teens. A mixture of peer pressure, vulnerability and uncertainty caused this to happen. Purchasing a packet of sterling sliver superkings became a regular thing. It was also the worst thing for my health. It never crossed my mind that one day I would finally quit smoking.
Slowly I was internally damaging my internal organs. And there are thousands of young people in the UK commiting the same personal crimes.
Close to 207,000 children in the UK start smoking.
