Preparing for success
So you’re ready to stop smoking? To get started it’s useful to remember the saying ‘failing to prepare is preparing to fail.’
Now you’ve decided to stop for good there’s things you can do to help improve your chances of success:
* Identify a quit date, add it to your calendar and stick to it!
* Let friends and family know that you are going to stop smoking
* Throw away all your smoking paraphernalia – lighters, cigarettes, rolling papers etc
* List your reasons for stopping and keep it somewhere you can see it
* Identify any situations where you usually smoke – like lunch breaks, social occasions or after a meal - and make plans for how to tackle, or avoid, those (at least in the short term).
* Get professional help – you’re four times more likely to quit for good with a stop smoking service
