Say Goodbye to Smoking
You can be smoke-free, and stay that way.
Benefits of Quitting:
- Healthier lungs and reduced risk of heart disease and certain cancers
- Increased fertility and lowered risk of miscarriage
- Stronger sense of taste and smell
- Talk to someone who supports your decision to quit.
- If withdrawal causes irritability, try using relaxation techniques, exercising regularly and avoiding stressful situations.
- Fight possible insomnia by avoiding caffeine or other stimulants, and by having a relaxing bedtime routine.
- Wait out cravings and use distractions.
- If your appetite increases, eat healthy snacks and drink more water.
- Develop strategies to avoid triggers that tempt you to smoke, and then develop alternatives.
