Observe the triggers and manage the craving situations with the help of family and friends. Know the results and side effects of quitting smoking and be prepared for the ‘big’ change.<\/p>\n

Quitting smoking<\/a> can be as heard as stopping breathing. Since smokers get addicted to the nicotine, they find it often hard to quit smoking cigarettes. Every cigarette reduces the life time of the smoker by five minutes and eliminates the family life. Quitting needs strong determination and understanding support network.<\/p>\n

  8. Get help on 1-800-QUIT-NOW (1-800-784-8669\/TTY 1-800-332-8615)<\/li>\n
  9. Buy some over the counter cessation medication if needed<\/li>\n
