Stopping Smoking

Stopping smoking is likely to be one of the most important things you do in your life. This page aims to support you through this difficult challenge. Anyone who has tried to stop smoking will understand how severe this addiction is. Although some people may succeed by going "cold turkey," it is much easier to stop (and not start again) when you can have continued support.

This following information will:

  • help you decide where you are on the road to stopping
  • look at why you started and why you continue to smoke
  • ask you to be honest with yourself about how motivated you are to stop
  • provide you with many positive health messages to maintain your motivation
  • give you guidance about the actual process of stopping.
