Please be honest with your answers which will enable us to be of assistance to you. Why do I want to stop? What is the major benefit to me? Do I enjoy smoking? When will I stop?

YOUR ACTION PLAN
FOR SUCCESS

Congratulations! You have decided that you are ready to stop smoking within the next two
weeks. This action plan will help you make sure you are well prepared to stop smoking
and stay stopped.

Some quick tips:

1.
Get set to STOP
Clean your home and car to get rid of the smell of cigarettes. Get a piggy bank to save the money you currently spend on cigarettes. Draw up a contract of commitment, signed and witnessed.
2. STOP

Change your routine around the times and places you normally smoke. Stay in non-smoking areas as much as possible. Chew sugar-free gum or suck sugar-free sweets. You can do it!
For cravings, find ways to distract yourself or try deep breathing. Don’t try ‘just one’ – it can undo all your hard work. Have a counsellor or friend you can ring for support.
4. ‘What
Plan how you will cope in specific situations. If you have tried before and failed, think about the reasons why and what you could do differently this time. Enjoy your time
Visit ‘no smoking’ cinemas, galleries or restaurants. Read a book, watch a film or play a game. You can STOP!
Record your success in your diary or calendar. If you have a lapse, try again. Remember you can still become a non-smoker. Keep using any therapies as recommended by your doctor or nurse. Write down your personal motivation for stopping smoking overleaf. NICOTINE ADDICTION AND WITHDRAWAL
Expect to experience unpleasant symptoms of nicotine withdrawal. Nicotine replacement therapy blunts these symptoms so behaviour can be changed. Smoking within 20 minutes of waking and/or smoking 20 or more cigarettes a day are suggestive that there is a high nicotine dependency.
