Advice for your smoke-free future

Take it one day at a time!

You may find it difficult to never smoke again. Tell yourself, �Today, I will not smoke!� Repeat the same tomorrow. This way, you�ll remain a non-smoker. Focus on solving today�s problems; don�t worry about tomorrow just yet.

Choose solutions that suit you in difficult situations:

• Think ahead about what you can do if, for example, you�re invited to be around people who smoke. Stay for a shorter time or keep something else in your hands.
• In the first few weeks, you can also avoid challenging situations altogether. For instance, don�t sit or stand near people who smoke.
• If you don�t feel well, don�t stay at home, but do something else. Go for a walk or visit someone who doesn’t smoke.

Realize what you have already achieved:

• Review how your health has already improved.
• Don�t forget to reward yourself and take time to relax.
• Calculate how much money you have saved by not smoking.
