1- Decide to make a change

When it comes time to quit smoking, it is important that you decide to make a change.

Write down exactly why you want to quit, and how your life will be better as a non-smoker.

From your sense of smell and taste to your physical fitness and bank account, quitting smoking can improve almost every aspect of your life.

Be sure that you are making these changes for yourself rather than anyone else.

Once you truly understand how much smoking has negatively impacted your life, there will be no doubt in your mind that quitting is right for you.

2- Set yourself up for success

If you are serious about quitting smoking, there are some simple ways you can prepare for it.

I recommend taking a few weeks (or even months) before you actually set out to quit, so that your transition is as smooth as possible.

Set yourself up for success by doing things like starting an exercise routine and bringing healthy foods into your house or workplace, which will make it easier for you to stay on track.

At the same time, recognize that giving up smoking is not easy and change doesn’t happen overnight.

It took a lot of work for you to get where you are now stop beating yourself up about all of that but know that no matter how hard it seems right now, quitting will be easier than continuing.

3- Dealing with withdrawals

If you are smoking and quitting, then you have to deal with withdrawal symptoms. These vary from person to person.

Some people might experience headaches, nausea, or even cramps.

If your body is used to receiving nicotine for a certain period of time each day, it will be deprived of that much-needed boost for at least a few days after your last cigarette.
