Following the given process will lead a smoker to a healthy life
free from all tobacco related products.
 Choose a specific quit date:
Instead of trying to quit each year on birthday or for New
Year's Resolution, try quitting on a Monday! And not just next
Monday-but every Monday. That gives 52 chances in a year
instead of just one chance––making it more likely that one will
succeed.

lighters, cigarettes and matches from home and office and
bags.

tobacco anywhere near him. Family and friends can help in
getting this goal accomplished.

arises
Keeping chewing gum, a lollipop, or a water bottle in hand can
be helpful in case you need to smoke.
