Don't Let Another Year
Go Up In Smoke
Are
you one of most smokers who want to quit? Then try following this
advice.
1.
Don’t smoke any number or any kind of cigarette.
Smoking even a few cigarettes a day can hurt your health. If you try to
smoke fewer cigarettes, but do not stop completely, soon
you’ll be smoking the same amount again.
Smoking "low-tar,
low-nicotine" cigarettes usually does little good, either. Because
nicotine is so addictive, if you switch to lower-nicotine brands
you’ll likely just puff harder, longer, and more often on
each cigarette. The only safe choice is to quit completely.
2.
Write down why you want to quit. Do
you want
- to feel in control of
you life?
- to have better health?
- to set a good example
for your children?
- to protect your family
from breathing other people’s smoke?
Really wanting to quit
smoking is very important to how much success you will have in
quitting. Smokers who live after a heart attack are the most likely to
quit for good—they're very motivated. Find a reason for
quitting before you have no choice.
3.
Know that it will take effort to quit smoking. Nicotine
is habit forming. Half of the battle in quitting is knowing you need to
quit. This knowledge will help you be more able to deal with the
symptoms of withdrawal that can occur, such as bad moods and really
wanting to smoke. There are many ways smokers quit, including using
nicotine replacement products (gum and patches), but there is no easy
way. Nearly all smokers have some feelings of nicotine withdrawal when
they try to quit. Give yourself a month to get over these feelings.
Take quitting one day at a time, even one minute at a
time—whatever you need to succeed.
4.
Half of all adult smokers have quit, so you can— too.
That’s the good news.There are millions of people alive today
who have learned to face life without a cigarette. For staying healthy,
quitting smoking is the best step you can take.
5.
Get help if you need it. Many
groups offer written materials, programs, and advice to help smokers
quit for good. Your doctor or dentist is also a good source of help and
support. Click to view National Groups or Other Web sites with
information and resources on how to quit.
