Lucas, like many, started smoking 30 years ago. Over the decades, what began as casual smoking has escalated into a dependency that’s tough to shake off. Now, each cigarette comes with a smoker’s cough and increasing difficulty in breathing.
For Lucas, smoking is more than just a habitual pattern; it’s his go-to for stress relief and social breaks. Despite the desire to quit, the cycle of trying patches and gums brings him back, time and again, to his old ways. It’s a battle, not just with addiction, but also with the fear of health consequences.
Lucas’s journey to quit smoking mirrors the struggle many face — full of setbacks and frustrations. He dreams of a life free from the grips of nicotine, where breathing is easy, and mornings don’t start with coughing fits.
