1. Make a plan. Decide on a date when you will quit, throw away all cigarettes and ashtrays, and make a list of activities to do instead of smoking.

2. Get support. Tell friends and family about your plan to quit and ask for their encouragement. Join support groups or seek professional help if needed.

3. Be prepared. Anticipate and plan for difficult situations in which you may be tempted to smoke.

4. Take it one day at a time. Celebrate each day that you don't smoke and don't be too hard on yourself if you slip up.

5. Be persistent. Quitting is hard and may require several attempts. Don't give up and keep trying until you succeed.

1. Make a plan: Quitting smoking is not a simple task. You should create a plan of action that outlines how and when you will quit. Start by setting a quit date, and then make a list of things you can do to prepare for quitting. Consider things like avoiding triggers, such as certain places or people, and stocking up on nicotine replacement therapies, such as patches or gum.

2. Seek support: Quitting smoking is a difficult process, so it’s important to have support from family, friends, or even a support group. Talk to people who have successfully quit smoking and ask for their advice.

3. Avoid triggers: Identify the triggers that make you want to smoke, such as certain places, people, or activities. Find ways to avoid those triggers or develop strategies to manage them when they occur.

4. Stay busy: When you’re trying to quit smoking, it’s important to keep yourself busy. Find activities that you enjoy, such as exercise or hobbies, to help keep your mind and hands occupied.

5. Don’t give up: Quitting smoking is a process and it takes time. You may experience cravings and other difficult emotions. Don’t give up if you have a slip-up, just pick yourself up and keep going.
