TIPS FOR QUITTING TOBACCO
If you or someone in your family smokes, vapes, or chews tobacco, you or they may be thinking about quitting here are some tips for success:
- Contact a telephone Quitline (1-800-QUIT-NOW) or go to Smokefree.gov and make a quit plan.
- Double your chances of quitting by using nicotine patches, gum or lozenges which are available without a prescription and you may be able to get at low or no cost through a Quitline.
- Discuss prescription medications with your doctor if patches, gum or lozenges don’t work for you.
- Write down a list of reasons why you want to quit and keep it handy.
- Set a quit date two weeks ahead and write it down—during those two weeks, prepare for quitting by cutting back gradually and getting cessation medication.
- Make a list of activities you enjoy that you’ll do instead of smoking, vaping or chewing.
- Set realistic goals and reward yourself for meeting them.
