Make Your Life a Smoke-Free Zone!

By giving up smoking you will reduce your risk of heart disease, stroke, cancer and chronic lung disease.

TIPS TO QUIT SMOKING

* Plan the day for quitting and stick with it.

* Seek the support of family, friends and co-workers, ask them to be understanding.

* Regular physical activity will help you manage your weight and relieve stress. It can be an ideal distraction or alternative activity when trying to quit.

* Think positive! You may experience withdrawal symptoms once you stop smoking.

* When you have the craving ... delay for at least 3 minutes and the urge will pass. Drink a glass of water or fruit juice.

* Distract yourself. Move away from the situation and do something different.

* Deep breathe ... breathe slowly.

* Put away what you would normally spend on tobacco and watch your savings grow.

* If you are worried about gaining weight, try some fruit or sugar from gum instead of snacking on chocolate bars and biscuits.

*Take it one day at a time! Remember, every day without a cigarette is good news for your health, your family and your pocket.
