How can I quit smoking or tobacco?

Quitting is hard but very possible, and many people need a few attempts.

• Set a quit date and tell family and friends.
• Identify triggers, like tea breaks or stress, and plan alternatives.
• Remove cigarettes, lighters and tobacco from home and work.
• Manage cravings, which usually pass in a few minutes; drink water, chew sugar-free gum or go for a walk.
• Consider nicotine replacement or medicines, after consulting a doctor.
• Get support from the National Tobacco Quitline at 1800-112-356.

Each day without tobacco is a win for your health.
