Following the given process will lead a smoker to a healthy life
free from all tobacco related products.
Choose a specific quit date:
Instead of trying to quit each year on birthday or for New
Year's Resolution, try quitting on a Monday! And not just next
Monday-but every Monday. That gives 52 chances in a year
instead of just one chance––making it more likely that one will
succeed.
Try to be stress free once smoker decided to quit, it will help
commitment from slipping.
Remove all tobacco products:
Smoker should remove all products inviting him to smoke like
lighters, cigarettes and matches from home and office and
bags.

he doesn’t want to smoke anymore and he don't want to see
tobacco anywhere near him. Family and friends can help in
getting this goal accomplished.
Keeping something in handy in case urge to smoke
arises
Keeping chewing gum, a lollipop, or a water bottle in hand can
be helpful in case you need to smoke.
