Everyday Tips to Quit Smoking

With a little planning, you can successfully give up cigarettes for good.
Preparing to Quit Smoking
Try these tips to increase your chance of success when you're ready to quit smoking:
· Set a date for quitting.
· If possible, have a friend quit smoking with you.
· Notice when and why you smoke. Try to identify your smoking triggers (such as drinking your morning cup of coffee or driving a car).
· Change your smoking routines: Keep your cigarettes in a different place. Smoke with your other hand.
· Don't do anything else when smoking. Think about how you feel when you smoke.
· Smoke only in certain places, such as outdoors.
· When you want a cigarette, wait a few minutes. Try to think of something to do instead of smoking; you might chew gum or drink a glass of water.
· Buy one pack of cigarettes at a time. Switch to a brand of cigarettes you don't like.
