enough time to prepare without losing your motivation to quit. If you
mainly smoke at work, quit on the weekend, so you have a few days to
adjust to the change
2. Tell family, friends, and co-workers that you plan to quit: Let
your friends and family in on your plan to quit smoking and tell them
you need their support and encouragement to stop. Look for a quit
buddy who wants to stop smoking as well. You can help each other get
through the rough times.
3. Anticipate and plan for the challenges you'll face while quitting:
Most people who begin smoking again do so within the first 3 months.
You can help yourself make it through by preparing ahead for common
challenges, such as nicotine withdrawal and cigarette cravings.
4. Remove cigarettes and other tobacco products from your home, car,
and work: Throw away all of your cigarettes (no emergency pack!),
lighters, ashtrays, and matches. Wash your clothes and freshen up
anything that smells like smoke. Shampoo your car, clean your drapes
and carpet, and steam your furniture.
5. Talk to your doctor about getting help to quit: Your doctor can
prescribe medication to help with withdrawal and suggest other
alternatives. If you can't see a doctor, you can get many products
over the counter at your local pharmacy or grocery store, including
the nicotine patch, nicotine lozenges, and nicotine gum.
