How To Quit Smoking

Stop Smoking Success

2006-09-24T13:45:00.000-07:00

Most people who have been able to successfully quit smoking
made at least one unsuccessful attempt in the past. Try not
to view past attempts to quit as failures, but rather as
learning experiences.

Feel ready to quit? Here are some tips:

Make a list of the reasons why you want to quit.
Include both short- and long-term benefits such as;
you will live longer and healthier, quitting will lower
your chance of having a heart attack, stroke, or cancer and
You will have extra money to spend on things other than
cigarettes.

Ask your family, friends, and co-workers for support.
Set a quit date and tell everyone when it is. Get rid of
all your cigarettes by then. Ask the people around you to
not smoke and don't leave cigarettes out.

Ask your health care provider for help. Find out whether
prescription medications (such as Zyban) might be useful
for you. Medications can help you stop smoking and lessen
the urge to smoke. Find out about nicotine patches
(Nicorette), gum and sprays.

Get individual, group, or telephone counseling. The more
counseling you have, the better your chances are of quitting.
If you join smoking cessation programs, you have a much
better chance of success. Programs are given at local
hospitals and health centers. Call your local hospital or
doctors office for information about programs in your area.

Many smokers find it difficult to quit smoking, and it may
take two or three attempts before they are finally able to
quit. Although relapse rates are most common in the first
few weeks or months after quitting, people who stop smoking
for 3 months are often able to remain cigarette-free for the
rest of their lives.

Prepare for your quitting date as if it were a major event (which it is!). Choose a "quit date"—the first day in which you will begin your life as a non-smoker. Place a calendar in a prominent location and mark the date. Prepare your home, office, car, and other areas of your environment for the big date. Clear these areas of smoking paraphernalia, or anything that may remind you of smoking.
