how to stop smoking

Get Help From Others – You need help from others to quit smoking. Face it, you didn’t wake up one morning and say to yourself “today I’ll start smoking”. Most people start smoking because of peer pressure, a chance to fit in, they see their parents smoking or any number of other reasons. Smoking is a social activity, and so is quitting.Pick A Quit Date And Stick To It – Decide on a quit day in advance and try to cut down gradually. Make your quit date easy on yourself and others. Pick a Friday so that you have two days home where to lock yourself in and flush the toxins out in private. During this time drink lots of water.

Set a quit date. Smoking cessation is most successful when it’s done “cold turkey,” not by slowly reducing the number of cigarettes smoked daily.
Throw them out. Throw away all cigarettes and matches at home, in your car, and at work. Put away, or throw away, ashtrays and lighters.
Share your goal. Tell your family and friends you’re quitting and ask for their support.
Avoid triggers. Avoid alcohol, coffee, and other triggers for smoking.
Set a no-smoking policy. Do not allow anyone to smoke in your home or car, and avoid other people when they are smoking.
Get tools. Take advantage of available stop-smoking aids, including nicotine replacements, drug therapy, and counseling. Less than one in 10 smokers is able to quit without some help. Nicotine gums, skin patches, and lozenges are available over the counter. Nicotine nasal sprays and inhalers require a prescription from your doctor. Don’t smoke when using these products.I hope this could help those people who want’s to stop smoking, not just for my friend but for those who are in addiction of smoking cigarettes
