Tips to Help You Quit

• Set up a quit date.
• Get rid of your last cigarettes, and anything related to smoking—lighters, ashtrays, etc.
• Set up a support system. This could be taking a group class, going to Nicotine Anonymous, or having a friend or family member who has successfully quit who is willing to help you.
• Ask family and friends who smoke not to do so around you and to not leave cigarettes out where you can see them.
• Set up a support system. This could be a group class, Nicotine Anonymous, or a friend or family member who has successfully quit and is willing to help you.
• Don’t give up. The nicotine in tobacco is highly addictive, and it may take several attempts to quit smoking
