The first step in quitting smoking is to decide that you want to quit and set a quit date. Then, create a plan for yourself that includes strategies such as setting up triggers or rewards for when you smoke, finding activities to replace smoking, and talking to your doctor about medications to help with withdrawal symptoms. Additionally, it can be helpful to find resources like counseling services or support groups to help you through this process. Finally, make sure to stay motivated by tracking your progress and celebrating each day of abstinence.
