Way to quit Smorking

JUST 9 STEPS

Step 1

Figure out whether you have a will to follow through. If you are weak-willed and have an addictive personality, you may want to work on that aspect first.

Step 2

When you've finally decided that you can't stand the guilt, set a date and tell the person you are with that you are quitting. Let them know you need their support regardless of what you do. You will accomplish your goal with time and patience.

Step 3

Prepare for quitting.

Step 4

Slowly whittle down your habit, aim for once a day

Step 5

Go for 3 days without tobacco. After 3 days, you should have lost any urges to smoke, and are good to go.

Step 6

Keep busy on your first day of not smoking. Throw any remaining cigarettes away, or give them to a smoker friend. Keep your gum/water handy. When day one is done, remember that today and the next week are going to be really hard. Treat yourself to an ice cream, but continue not to smoke. 

Step 7

Let your friends know you passed day two, three, a week, etc., of not smoking. Their praise will help.

Step 8

For the first month, avoid social smoking gatherings, big parties and eating outdoors. Keep busy and remind yourself with each passing hour and day, that you are non-smoker! You are doing it!

Step 9

After the first month, and maybe for the rest of your life, you will still think of how nice a cigarette will be after a good meal, but the thoughts are easy to repress. Your life as a non-smoker will be healthier and hopefully more enjoyable without the constant torment of being told not to smoke.
