Create a quit-smoking plan

Having troubles on how to quit smoking? Your pharmacist can help you by giving advice and guiding you through this journey. Here’s an action plan you can follow with your pharmacist to cope with obstacles you may face as you quit smoking:

1. Select a quit date

We ought to start at some point, so we need to pick a specific date to quit smoking and mark it in the calendar, and set up obtainable goals. Share it with your family and friends and seek guidance and support from them.

2. Keep in touch with your pharmacist

Your pharmacist will:
  • Discover how dependent you are on nicotine
  • Assist you to understand your main smoking habits and identify your triggers
  • Question you about your former attempts to quit smoking to make sure you don’t draw back into the same bad habits

3. Follow a customized treatment

If necessary, your pharmacist can prescribe a tailored solution, including:
  • Nicotine substitute products used for replacing the nicotine from cigarettes (patches, chewing gum, and lozenges)

4. Give yourself a reward

You should give yourself a reward as you progress with your goals. Many benefits of a smoke-free life can be experienced in the long-term, but some are almost instant as well. So keep on going!
