Set a quit date: Choose a specific date within the next two weeks to quit smoking and stick to it.
Make a plan: Develop a plan for how you will cope with triggers and cravings. Identify strategies that have worked for you in the past, such as chewing gum, going for a walk, or deep breathing exercises.
Consider nicotine replacement therapy: Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) can help reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings. NRT products include gum, lozenges, patches, inhalers, and nasal sprays.
Seek support: Tell your family and friends that you are quitting and ask for their support. Consider joining a support group or counseling program to help you through the process.
Remove triggers: Get rid of cigarettes, lighters, ashtrays, and other smoking paraphernalia from your home and car.
Keep yourself busy: Find new hobbies or activities to fill the time that you would have spent smoking.
Stay positive: Remember that quitting smoking is a process, and it may take time to succeed. Stay positive and focus on your reasons for quitting.
