Deciding to stopSuggestions include:
Decide on a quit date and stick to it.
Ring Quitline for advice. They can post out a Quit pack, containing a free Quit book and information about support, including the 'call back' service, courses, the Quit video and audio tapes.
Tell your family and friends of your intention to stop smoking and ask for their support.
Think about prior attempts to quit and what went wrong. Plan how to avoid the same pitfalls this time.
Decide on your strategy. For example, do you intend to go cold turkey, use nicotine replacement therapy or attend group courses?
Write a list of all the reasons why you want to stop smoking and refer to this list whenever you feel tempted to light up a cigarette.
Cravings only last a few minutes. Get through them by delaying the urge to reach for a cigarette, taking deep breaths, drinking water and doing something else to occupy your mind while your craving passes.
Incorporate quitting cigarettes into a healthier lifestyle. Try taking up regular exercise or improving your diet.
Your body will absorb more caffeine than usual in the few weeks after quitting. Cut down on coffee and tea for the first month or so to prevent caffeine-induced anxiety and restlessness.
