Quitting smoking is a personal and transformative journey, and choosing the right method is essential for long-term success

If you've been trying to quit for a while, then your body will be craving cigarettes less than it normally would, even if you've had a relapse

Finding a new healthy "addiction" to replace your smoking habit can help you refocus your energies and be more excited about your new routine instead of feeling like you're just slogging through your days without smoking

If you smoke in your car, have only one cigarette instead of two

If you usually smoke after meals, find something else to do instead, like brushing your teeth, taking a walk, texting a friend, or chewing gum

Reward yourself when you reach milestones and forgive yourself if you take a step backward
