There are many reasons to quit smoking. Some involve health concerns such as wrinkled skin. Some involve monetary concerns such as the high cost of insurance. Some reasons can be peer or family pressure such as wanting to be a good role model for your child. Any reason is a good reason to quit smoking.
*Seek support from family, friends and coworker during the process. Tell them you will probably become irritable, and possibly irrational, but they need to know so they can help.
*Make yourself notes why you want to quit. List all the benefits such as living longer or saving money. Post the notes in several places such as the bathroom mirror, in the car or at your desk to remind yourself daily why you want to quit.
*Practice deep breathing every day for three to five minutes. Breathe in through your nose, hold your breath for a few seconds and exhale slowly through your mouth. By concentrating on breathing you are not thinking about smoking.
*You as a smoker are the only person who can decide whether to quit in a slow, steady progression or cold turkey. You must know yourself and how you will react.
There are many reasons to quit smoking. Most people do not wake up one morning and say, Oh, I want to be smoker. It usually happens gradually until it has become an addiction.
