The most effective way to quit smoking is to set a quit date and create a plan to stop smoking. Make sure to talk to your doctor and ask for their advice on quitting. Also, contact a smoking cessation program or hotline to connect with trained counselors and find resources to help you quit. Other techniques that may help include keeping busy, distracting yourself during cravings, avoiding triggers, eating healthy snacks to reduce nicotine cravings, and getting plenty of sleep.
