TAKE IT ONE DAY AT A TIME
Smoking is a step-by-step process
that should be done day by day. Instead
of thinking about stopping forever, think
about taking it one day at a time. Making
shorter goals will make it easier for you to
cope, both mentally and physically. Once
you are committed to short term quitting,
thinking about the long term will be easier.

DETERMINE WHAT MOTIVATES YOU
To keep yourself motivated to
quit smoking, be clear about why you
want to quit. While there are many good
reasons to quit smoking, you want to
focus on your most powerful, personal
reasons. Every time you feel tempted,
remind yourself how much you want
to improve your health, save money
or set a good example for your kids.
If you want to quit smoking, you need
to identify factors that will motivate you
to stop. Preventing lung cancer, tooth
decay, gum disease and emphysema,
or protecting your family are strong
motivators. Showing respect for your
body and for the gift of life is also a
powerful motivating force. Whatever
reason you choose, it needs to be enough
to prevent you from lighting up again in
the future.

KEEP YOUR TRIGGERS AT BAY
When you are quitting smoking, you need to avoid the triggers that you always
associated with smoking. For instance, if you enjoyed smoking in your vehicle or while
reading a book, you must change this behavior while performing these tasks, so that
you don’t automatically pull out a cigarette out of habit. Look for a positive alternative
to fill the time and distract your mind.
