When you're ready...

Quitting isn't easy and that's why the NHS is here to support you through it. However, it will require you to ready, motivated and prepared to make this change in your life. For a successful quit attempt, you may want to consider:

• Why you want to quit and the benefits you hope to get
• A 'Quit Day'
• Get to know the withdrawal symptoms
• Coping tactics for your cravings
• Which medication is best for you
• Big events, parties or holidays that might occur in your quit attempt

More information on each of these is available here.

Believe in yourself, lots of people do it, and so can you!
