1. Strengthen your will and determination to quit smoking, as this will be the most difficult part of cessation. Ask friends and family for support in your goal to quit. 2. Set a target time of 2-3 weeks to fully quit smoking. Gradually reduce smoking amounts over this period to make the process easier. 3. Avoid habits that trigger urges to smoke, such as drinking coffee or alcohol. Replace smoking with activities like exercise, cycling, or drinking water to stay busy and flush toxins from the body.
