Top Tips To Quit

Tips to quit

List your reasons to quit and set a date for when you’ll do it
Quit with a friend
Tell people you’re quitting
Switch up your drinks- wine, fizzy drinks, tea and coffee compliment cigarettes, whereas juices and water make smoking less appealing
Download a stop smoking app to help your journey. The Smoke Free app can be found here
Keep your hands busy- download some new games to your phone for when the cravings hit, keep a trinket with you to fiddle with, try out a vape or inhalator
Find new ways to unwind and still give yourselves those breaks or moments of relaxation
Get rid of all lighters, ashtrays and smoking paraphernalia
Don’t give up if you relapse! The more quit attempts you make, the more likely you are to quit for good
If you are able to, give yourself rewards with the money you’ve saved
Talk to your doctor about Champix and other quitting methods.
Keep a cravings diary
Brush your teeth right after meals if you usually have an after dinner cigarette
Lollipops, carrot/celery sticks, mints, gum, pistachios- keep your mouth busy
