Planning to Quit

• Making the decision to quit smoking is an important step to improving your health.

• Make a list of your reasons for smoking AND quitting.
• Record how many, and when you smoke each cigarette and consider which ones would be easier to eliminate from your daily routine.
• Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about using stop-smoking medications. Used with counselling, these can increase your chances of success.
• Set a quit date.
