You Can Quit!

Woman with grandchildrenHave you given up on quitting smoking? If you have tried to quit before and you started smoking again, don’t despair.

Many people have to try to quit a few times before they become a nonsmoker for good. Here are some things to think about to get you ready to try again:

  • Smoking costs a lot of money. What else could you do with the money you spend on cigarettes? If you quit today, how much money would you save in six months? In a year?
  • No matter how old you are or how long you have been smoking, when you quit, your health gets better quickly.
  • Everyone smokes for a reason. What is yours? Notice the patterns for when you smoke. Do you smoke when nervous, angry, or stressed? How else could you cope with these feelings?
  • What went wrong when you tried to quit before? What would you change about how you tried to quit last time?
