Quit-smoking action plan
By Mayo Clinic staffThe way to succeed at anything is to have a plan. Now that you have decided to quit smoking, it's time to map out your quit-smoking action plan. And the first step of your quit-smoking action plan should be "get support."
Support can come from family, friends, your doctor, a counselor, a support group or a telephone quitline. Support can also come from medications, including nicotine delivery systems and non-nicotine medications.
The second item on your quit-smoking action plan? Plan for challenges. For example, make a list of high-risk places — and do your best to avoid them. Instead, try places where smoking isn't allowed, such as a museum or movie theater.
