Case Studies

 ASH Scotland has collected a series of ‘stop smoking’ case studies, telling the stories of a range of individuals from a range of circumstances, and how they were able to kick the habit.

Many thanks are due to the individuals below for sharing their story with us, and giving us permission to reproduce it here. Thanks also to the smoking cessation professionals who enabled us to get in touch with the case studies.

Bill McLean, Lothian, in his 60s, smoked up to 40-a-day
