Set a Quit Date
Choose a quit date 1-2 weeks out and stick to it. This gives you time to prepare while also committing to a deadline.
Address Triggers
Identify situations that trigger your urge to smoke like drinking coffee or alcohol. Avoid triggers if possible when you first quit or have a plan to address cravings.
Try Nicotine Replacement
Nicotine patches, gum, or lozenges can ease withdrawal symptoms. Use as directed along with behavioral support for best results.
Remove Cigarettes
Get cigarettes and related items like lighters and ashtrays out of your home, car, and workspace. This removes easy access to temptations.
Seek Support
Quitting with support makes it easier. Join a support group, enlist friends and family, or discuss cessation aids with your doctor or pharmacist.
With determination and the right help, you can become smoke-free. Focus on the positives if you slip up and keep working toward Quit Day. Your health is worth this investment!
