Breast-feed just before you useNicorette Gum to ensure that thebaby gets the smallest amount ofnicotine possible.

2 Break your routineFor a number of years you willhave become accustomed tosmoking at certain times, withparticular people or in certainsituations. Think about the timesyou will miss smoking the mostand plan how you will cope onthese occasions. Changing yourroutine will help you break thehabit of smoking.

3 Quit with a friendQuitting with a fellow smoker is agood idea. It will strengthen yourresolve and build on yourdetermination.Encourage a friend or familymember to quit with you. It willgive your morale a boost sincethere will be another personknowing exactly what you’refeeling and with whom you canshare your resolve to quitsmoking.

4 Remove any temptation35

WillpowerThe overriding success factor inquitting is how determined youare. The first few weeks ofquitting or reducing the numberof cigarettes you smoke willprobably be the most difficultbecause your smoking ritual is stillfresh in your mind.However, you will find that as timegoes by, your willpower becomesstronger. Telling friends, family andwork colleagues that you have quitsmoking and that you envisage atough time ahead will encouragethem to support you.

1 Pick the right dayThere is never a perfect time togive up smoking, but you shouldplan ahead by choosing a date inthe not too distant future onwhich you are going to give upcigarettes completely, or startreducing the number of cigarettesyou smoke. Try to pick a daywhen you will not be too stressed.

34

618692c.qxd 07-11-15 16.53 Sida 35

6 Distract yourselfWhenever you feel the urge tosmoke coming on, distractyourself by keeping active. Don’tfeel sorry for yourself. Get up anddo something. Do that job aroundthe house or garden that you’vebeen putting off or take up ahobby.Remember that the craving onlylasts a few minutes.

7 Learn to relaxOnce you have stopped smoking,taking exercise regularly will notonly help you get fitter but willencourage you to relax. Exercisehas the ability to relieve stress andtension. Taken regularly it willbenefit you physically andpsychologically.If you haven’t exercised for sometime, take it slowly to begin withand increase the amount of timespent exercising over the course ofa few weeks. Not only will

To help yourself succeed be sure toremove all cigarettes, matches,lighters etc. from your home, carand work. Ask your friends andcolleagues not to offer youcigarettes or smoke close by youbut be careful not to offend them.Explain that you have given up.This type of support from friendsis of greatest benefit for the firstcouple of weeks of quitting, asthis is your most vulnerable time.The last thing you want is acigarette close at hand in amoment of weakness.

5 Take one day at a timeWhen you reach your Quit Day,don’t allow yourself to think thatyou’re quitting for good. That willmake it seem like a superhumantask. Just promise yourself “Iwon’t have a cigarette today” andtake it one day at a time. You’llbe surprised how much that littlethought helps.

3736

618692c.qxd 07-11-15 16.53 Sida 37

your only option is to go back tosmoking. Don’t think of it ashaving failed, just think throughthe reasons why you wanted toquit in the first place and don’tlet those couple of cigarettes getthe better of you. Refer back toyour plan and start again. Youcan beat it!

10 If you don’t succeedGiving up is more difficult forsome people than others.If you fail to stop first time,don’t be disheartened. Try againat a later date – you can do it!Remember the most successfullong term ex-smokers haveusually had to try several timesto stop smoking – if you don’tsucceed – quit quit again.

exercising help you relax but it alsohelps to keep your weight undercontrol, which some people find aproblem when quitting.

8 Think cash not ashOne of the really noticeablebenefits of ‘stopping’ is the extracash that’s suddenly available. To emphasise the point put themoney into a pot marked ‘cashnot ash’ and watch it accumulate.But be sure to use the money totreat yourself. You deserve areward for not smoking.

9 Dealing with relapsesYou might find that in times ofstress, reaching for a cigarette isthe only thing that will help youthrough. There may also becertain situations – particularlysocial situations such as a partyor in the pub – wheretemptation just gets the betterof you, so you smoke one or twocigarettes. You might feel that
