Quitting with a clear plan gives you the chance to stay motivated and see the plan through.

We've collated a few simple steps that you can take to help put your plan into action and prepare for the day you quit.

Avoid temptation

• Choose a quit date that’s unlikely to be stressful

• Avoid having any cigarettes, matches, or lighters on you

• Avoid places where others may be smoking

• Be prepared for strong craving occasions for example, after a meal

Remind yourself why you’re quitting

• That you’ll be much healthier

• That you’ll be much wealthier

• That YOU want to be in control

• You will stop smelling of cigarettes

During the first week

• Keep busy, get support from a friend, relative or your local Stop Smoking Service

• Stick to non-smoking areas

• Get plenty of fresh air, go for a brisk walk

• Keep telling yourself – “I can do it!”

Quitting with support and medication means that you are more likely to give up for good.
