I've been trying to quit smoking, but I keep relapsing. What is the best way to stop smoking?

The best way to stop smoking is to create a plan that works for you and stick with it. Start by setting a quit date and make sure to tell everyone close to you so they can help support your efforts. Make sure to have plenty of nicotine replacement therapy (such as gum or patches) on hand to help reduce cravings. Additionally, try to avoid triggers such as places where you smoke and people who smoke in order to reduce temptation. Finally, find ways to reward yourself when you reach milestones like one week without smoking.
