3. Look into smoking services
There are a number of free services up and down the UK to help you kick your smoking habit. Developed by experts and ex-smokers and delivered by professionals, they offer advice, support and encouragement to give up the habit for good. Speak to your local GP or visit the NHS Smokefree website to find out what help is on offer.
4. Save the money you would have spent and treat yourself
Put aside the money you would have spent on cigarettes over a given period of time and use that money to treat yourself! It could be a shopping trip, a night out or money towards a holiday, whatever takes your fancy!
5. Have strategies to deal with triggers
Make sure you avoid trigger situations and have strategies to deal with them if they occur. For example, replace your after-dinner cigarette with sugar-free gum. If you and a friend often smoked at a certain bar, maybe change your Friday night drinking session for a cinema trip.
