Do's and Don'ts

Do's

  • Do follow your quit plan!

    Use nicotine replacement therapy or prescribed medications exactly as directed. Consistency helps reduce cravings and increases your chances of long-term success.

  • Do build a strong support system!

    Share your quit journey with family, friends, or support groups who can encourage you during tough moments. Support increases accountability and motivation.

  • Do practice healthy coping strategies!

    Replace smoking with exercise, deep breathing, or chewing sugar-free gum to manage stress and cravings in positive ways.

  • Do celebrate milestones!

    Acknowledge each smoke-free day, week, and month to stay motivated and remind yourself of your progress.

  • Do monitor your health improvements!

    Pay attention to positive changes such as better breathing, more energy, and improved sense of taste and smell. These remind you of the benefits of quitting.

Don'ts

  • Don't keep cigarettes or smoking supplies around!

    Having access to lighters, ashtrays, or packs can trigger cravings and make relapse more likely.

  • Don't rely on alcohol or excessive caffeine!

    These substances can weaken willpower and act as common smoking triggers, making it harder to resist cravings.

  • Don't ignore withdrawal symptoms!

    If you experience irritability, trouble sleeping, or strong urges to smoke, talk to your provider. There are safe strategies to manage these challenges.

  • Don't skip follow-up visits!

    Regular check-ins help your provider adjust your quit plan, track progress, and give you extra tools to stay on track.

  • Don't give up after a slip!

    Relapses happen, but they don't mean failure. Learn from the trigger, reset your quit plan, and keep moving forward.
