Tips on quitting

If you are a smoker or knows someone who smokes. The following tips may help you ot them to quit smoking sooner.

·         Throw away all cigarettes, lighters and ashtrays. Giving up the habit completely overnight is probably the best way to stop.

·         Tell your family and friends that you are going to stop smoking. Get them to help and encourage you.

·         Keep away from all people, places and situations (as much as possible) that might tempt you to smoke - at least for the first few weeks.

·         Take up a hobby or sport (like swimming or cycling), which will not allow you to smoke.

·         Drink plenty of water and nibble on healthy snacks like fruit or carrot sticks.

·         Use the money that you save on cigarettes to buy yourself a little reward for every day or week you stay smoke-free.

·         Take it one day at a time. If you accidentally light up without thinking, don't be discouraged. Just put it out and try not to get caught in the same situation again.
