"I was a
follower,
now I am
a leader."
Jessica began to smoke at age 13 and became a heavy
smoker once she was able to pay for her own cigarettes.
She found it hard to quit, especially because of stress.
But once her mom was diagnosed with cancer at
the age of 42, Jessica made a vow to both
her mom and herself never to smoke. Jessica
feels better, hasn’t gained weight even
though her appetite is better, and saved a
lot of money along the way to staying quit.

your chances of quitting for good.
