From the CAMH site we bring you the first five of their 10 Tips To Quit Smoking!

1. Make your car, home and office completely smoke free.  Write down the pros and cons of smoking for your health, your family, your social life, your finances and your mental health.
2. Smoke only ½ the cigarette or change to a brand that you do not like.
3. Delay the time between each cigarette.  Only smoke the cigarettes you “must have” and see if you can drop the rest.
4. Chew gum, sugar free candies or have a low fat low sugar snack when having a craving.
5. Identify your triggers; find out which activities you link with smoking such as dealing with boredom, hunger, drinking alcohol or coffee. avoid these triggers and others such as smoking environments.
