Quitting smoking isn’t an easy task. Create a plan that works for you to help you reach your goal.

First, set a date! Choose a date to quit smoking and stick with it. It’s a great way to mentally prepare to stop smoking.

Think about whether you want to quit completely or gradually and find the product(s) that are right for you.

Tip 2: Remember why you decided to quit

Make a list of all the reasons why you want to stop smoking and put it somewhere you’ll see it. When you feel like you want to give up, remind yourself of why you are doing this and keep going!

Tip 3: Use the money you save on cigarettes to treat yourself

The average smoker spends around €6.20 a day on cigarettes, which is a whopping €186 a month. Make sure you actually see the money you save. Set up a special account or just start a ‘quitting jar’, to store the saved cash. Then for the fun part - deciding how to spend it.

Tip 4: Try Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT).

When you stop smoking, nicotine withdrawal may make you feel irritable, anxious or down. Nicorette can help tackle these withdrawal symptoms so you can carry on with your day!

Tip 5: Quit with a friend

Grab a friend who also wants to quit. That way, you can keep each other motivated and you’ll know you’re not in it alone.

Tip 6: Identify what makes you crave a cigarette

Strengthen your willpower by limiting or skipping triggers you commonly associate with smoking. Learn how to identify your triggers and get tips for conquering your cravings.

Tip 7: Keep busy to resist the urge to smoke

Whenever you feel the urge to smoke, resist it by keeping busy. Cravings usually last 5-10 minutes so make a list of things to do in this time. For example, walk around the block, call a friend, tidy your desk or catch up on the news.

Tip 8: Work out the stress

Physical activity is a great way of dealing with the stress of quitting. Walk, run, swim, or take up a new activity. Your lung capacity improves by as much as 10% nine months after you quit so you’ll be able to do more.
