Set a date to quit

Unless there is a very good reason, make the date within two weeks from now. Choose an easy day to stop, one when you will not be under much pressure, but will have plenty to occupy yourself.

Practise quitting

Once you have picked a date to quit, stick to it. Before you quit, you might set yourself some smaller goals to see how you would go. Try quitting for only one day. Or you could experiment by not smoking at times when you normally would, such as when you're out with friends or having a break with other smokers at work. This will help you work out how much you need to prepare for these situations when you quit completely.

Try this

Throw away all cigarettes, lighters and ashtrays in your home and car. If your partner smokes, suggest that he or she stops too, or only smokes outside the house.
