A SOUTH Tyneside couple are starring in a new film to help others quit smoking.
Irene Doyle stubbed out her last cigarette three years ago, after signing up to the NHS’s Stop Smoking Service.
The 52–year–old carer had a 30-a-day habit but decided to stop, along with her partner David Thompson, after both their health and finances began to suffer.
Miss Doyle, of Alice Street, South Shields, said: “It was affecting my health.
“I couldn’t breathe properly and my chest was bad.
“It was also costing a lot.
“After eight years of being off the cigarettes, I couldn’t believe I had started again.

“Now we both feel so much better and more healthy.
