Getting Rready to Quit Smoking
Your best chance of success is to stop smoking completely (cold turkey) rather than slowly cutting down
1. QUIT DATE – Decide the date on which you are going to stop.
2. GET SUPPORT-Family, friends and workmates can be a big help to someone who wants to stop smoking.
3. IDENTIFY DANGER AND FIND SOLUTIONS – Ask yourself “What is the cigarette that is hardest for me to do without. These are the cigarettes you are likely to miss most when you quit.
4. PLAN YOUR “SURVIVAL KIT” – You’ll need substitutes for your cigarette. If you need something to put in your mouth try sugarfree chewing gum or carrots. Keep your hands busy by playing with a pencil or worry beads.
5. START SAVING YOUR CIGARETTE MONEY – Every day put the money you would have spent on tobacco in a jar and watch it grow.
