Smoking Cessation

Tips & Tools

There are several smoking cessation methods to choose from.  The appropriate aid will depend on each person.  Most successful self-help programs rely on changing habits and/or coping with smoking triggering events.   Nicotine replacement has helped many break the habit.  Here are a few tips to get started.

1.  Prepare to quit.   Set a date, determine your quit method, throw away ALL cigaretes.

2.  Work the plan.  Strengthen your resolve.  Change your routine. (i.e. If you drink coffe with a morning cigarette, switch to tea.)  Stay active, drink lots of water, spend more time with friends who don't smoke, relax, reward yourself. Get Support.   The Nicoderm CQ Committed Quitters Program is an excellent starting point.

3. Handle risky situations.  For most smokers, high risk situations involve boredom, alcohol and anger.  List 4 situations that pressure you to smoke and how you can avoid each.

A Word About Antioxidants

Smoking can cause buildup of free radicals (oxidants) in the body.  Nature's Way Antioxidants are designed to bring the power of a combination of potent antioxidants together.  This powerful formula provides protection for many of the body's important systems by combating free radicals and oxidants, molecules which damage cells, DNA, fats and cholesterol. We recommend Natures Way Antioxidants.
