Quit smoking: Put it on paper
Consider what you don't like about smoking and why you want to quit smoking. Do you want to feel better? Are you worried about health consequences, such as lung cancer and heart disease? Set a good example for your kids? Rid yourself of that lingering smoke smell on your hair, skin and clothes? Write it all down and carry the list with you. Each time you go to pick up a cigarette or other tobacco product, read your list and remind yourself why you want to quit.
Quit smoking: Line up support
The more support you have, the more likely you are to stop smoking. Tell your family, friends and co-workers that you are going to quit smoking. Ask them to check in to see how you're doing. Ask friends who smoke not to smoke around you or offer you a cigarette. Ask them to be patient with your changes in mood. Also consider joining a support group in person or online.
Quit smoking: Ask for help
Don't be afraid to ask your doctor for help to stop smoking. Treatments that can lessen cravings include nicotine replacement, which can be administered with a skin patch, lozenges, gum, inhalers or nasal sprays. Non-nicotine medication can also help reduce nicotine withdrawal symptoms by mimicking how nicotine functions in your body.
