Dan's story

“Recently, I had the flu and I was really struggling to breathe, especially at night. So, I went to the doctors, obviously, to get some antibiotics. He mentioned to me to maybe get a lung function test. I struggled to even empty my lungs, and it just sounded so wheezy…What I could have is early signs of emphysema.”

"My advice to anyone who's considering quitting is to go see their doctor and work out what method is going to work for them... I found something that works for me."
