How to Quit Smoking

By Brian White at 06/11/07 20:08

If you smoke tobacco and want to take your health back for the low price of not buying cigarettes all the time, you owe it to yourself, your lungs, your wallet and your kids to quit. It ain't easy, but there's more tools available than ever before.

• Most states offer a free quit-smoking hotline with advice and resources.
• The patch and Nicorette gum can make physical addiction symptoms easier.
• It only takes a couple days before lung-function begins to improve. Notice the improvement and count it as a landmark.
• You have to quit now, not later, and not when you run out.
• No matter what, just don't buy more, and don't bum any either.
• Tell your friends not to give you one, even if you ask nicely.
