Many smokers prefer to quit cold turkey &#8211; using will power, all at once. They smoke until their Quit Day and then quit. Or they may smoke fewer cigarettes for 1 or 2 weeks before Quit Day.<\/p>\n<p>On your Quit Day, you may follow these suggestions:<\/p>\n<p>\uf0a7\tDo not smoke. This means none at all &#8212; not even one puff!<br \/>\n\uf0a7\tKeep active &#8212; try walking, exercising, or doing other activities or hobbies.<br \/>\n\uf0a7\tBegin using nicotine replacement patches or gum if that is your choice.<br \/>\n\uf0a7\tAttend stop-smoking class or follow self-help plan to find new ways to deal with stress.<br \/>\n\uf0a7\tAvoid situations where the urge to smoke is strong.<br \/>\n\uf0a7\tThink about changing your routine. Use a different route to go to work, drink tea instead of coffee. Eat breakfast in a different place or eat different foods. Drink lots of water and juices.<\/p>\n<p>NEED HELP?
