I've been trying to quit smoking for the past two years, but I keep relapsing. What are some of the best tips for quitting smoking?

1. Make a plan and set goals. Set a quit date and create a timeline for yourself that includes when you will smoke your last cigarette.
2. Find activities to replace smoking. Try exercising, meditating, reading, or talking with friends instead of smoking.
3. Get support from family, friends, and healthcare professionals. Tell them about your plans and ask for their help in staying motivated.
4. Track your progress. Keep track of how many cigarettes you’re not smoking and celebrate each milestone as you move closer to your goal.
5. Reward yourself for accomplishments. Give yourself small rewards such as buying new clothes or going out with friends after meeting certain milestones.
