## Answers

### Answer by Jens Michiels

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.
