Robin
"I couldn’t walk 2 feet without being out of breath."
Hometown: Fall River
Year quit: 2009
Robin smoked for 43 years and was smoking 3 packs a day before she quit. She
quit because she couldn’t breathe and wanted to be healthier for her granddaughter. Her doctor
prescribed a quit-smoking medicine to help. She says every little bit helps and positive support
makes all the difference. Robin shared her story about why she quit to help motivate others to
try to stop and to Make Smoking History.
