[Title card] Stopping smoking. It's well worth it.

Dave speaks to the camera with an empathetic tone to his voice. To the side of him, phrases he speaks of are highlighted:

"Smoking not only affected my health but also my wallet. I spent so much money on cigarettes over the years, money that could have been used for better things, like holidays and saving for the future.

Money has always been tight but the extra cost of smoking was a constant drain on my finances. Since I quit, I've saved a significant amount of money. Now, I can afford more family outings and little treats for special occasions. The financial freedom I've gained has lifted a huge weight off my shoulders.

Quitting smoking as not only improved my health and relationships but also my financial well-being. If you are looking for free support to help quit smoking for good, visit www.kent.gov.uk/smokefree."
