Tips for Quitting

It’s important to remember why you’re here. You’re going to be more successful at quitting if you create a plan. Here are some things you can add to your checklist to get started:

• Set a quit date
• Get all tobacco products and anything related to tobacco, like lighters and ashtrays out of your house.
• Take advantage of various quit medications. These can include nicotine patches, gum, and lozenges. These options can double your likelihood of successfully quitting.
• Write down the reasons why you are quitting.

Learn to Fight Cravings

• We all know other smokers. Make an effort to avoid socializing when others are smoking since it will make you crave a cigarette even more.
• Take tobacco out of your normal routine. We know it’s harder than it sounds, but your quit plan will help you make it happen
• Occupy your mouth. When a craving hits, use gum, mints, a straw, or toothpick to occupy your mouth
• Picture it! Put a photo of what you’re going to buy with your cigarette savings on your phone so that you’re reminded of what you’re working toward.
