Quitting Smoking for Good
It’s possible and so worth it!
“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” — Aristotle
We all know smoking is bad for your health, your wallet, and your environment. It can cause cancer, heart disease, stroke, lung problems, and many other diseases.
It can also make you smell bad, stain your teeth, and damage your skin. Not to mention, it can burn a hole in your pocket with the rising cost of cigarettes.
Knowing all this doesn’t mean that quitting smoking is easy, nor does it make people even want to quit.
Coming to grips with your addiction and wanting to move away from it is a process, but once you decide you no longer want to be a smoker, then and only then can you move forward and start taking the steps needed to make that a reality.
Quitting smoking is not easy, but it’s worth it.
So how do you quit smoking for good? Well, there is no one-size-fits-all solution, but there are some general steps that can help you along the way.
1. Make a plan.
The first step is to decide when and how you want to quit.
You can choose to quit cold turkey, gradually reduce your intake, or use nicotine replacement products or medications.
