Right away you can taste and smell food better. Your breath smells better. Your cough goes away. This happens for men and women of all ages, even those who are older. It happens for healthy people as well as those who already have a disease or condition caused by smoking. * Quitting smoking cuts the risk of lung cancer, many other cancers, heart disease, stroke, other lung diseases, and other respiratory illnesses. * Ex-smokers have better health than current smokers. Ex- smokers have fewer days of illness, fewer health complaints, and less bronchitis and pneumonia than current smokers. * Quitting smoking saves money. A pack-a-day smoker, who pays $2 per pack, can expect to save more than $700 per year. It appears that the price of cigarettes will continue to rise in coming years, as will the financial rewards of quitting. -------------------------------------------------------------------- QUITTING TIPS: Getting Ready to Quit * Set a date for quitting. If possible, have a friend quit smoking with you. * Notice when and why you smoke. Try to find the things in your daily life that you often do while smoking (such as drinking your morning cup of coffee or driving a car). * Change your smoking routines: Keep your cigarettes in a different place. Smoke with your other hand. Don't do anything else when smoking. Think about how you feel when you smoke. * Smoke only in certain places, such as outdoors. * When you want a cigarette, wait a few minutes. Try to think of something to do instead of smoking; you might chew gum or drink a glass of water. * Buy one pack of cigarettes at a time. Switch to a brand of cigarettes you don't like. On the Day You Quit: * Get rid of all your cigarettes. Put away your ashtrays. * Change your morning routine. When you eat breakfast, don't sit in the same place at the kitchen table. Stay busy. * When you get the urge to smoke, do something else instead. * Carry other things to put in your mouth, such as gum, hard candy, or a toothpick. * Reward yourself at the end of the day for not smoking. See a movie or go out and enjoy your favorite meal. Staying Quit: * Don't worry if you are sleepier or more short-tempered than usual; these feelings will pass. * Try to exercise-take walks or ride a bike. * Consider the positive things about quitting, such as how much you like yourself as a non-smoker, health benefits for you and your family, and the example you set for others around you. A positive attitude will help you through the tough times. * When you feel tense, try to keep busy, think about ways to solve the problem, tell yourself that smoking won't make it any better, and go do something else. * Eat regular meals. Feeling hungry is sometimes mistaken for the desire to smoke. * Start a money jar with the money you save by not buying cigarettes. * Let others know that you have quit smoking-most people will support you. Many of your smoking friends may want to know how you quit. It's good to talk to others about your quitting. * If you slip and smoke, don't be discouraged. Many former smokers tried to stop several times before they finally succeeded. Quit again. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsor Advertisement: TRYING TO QUIT SMOKING?
