Your four-step starting point
- Choose a goal: read the smoking guide or vaping guide and write why you want a change.
- Bring in support: explore quitlines and treatment resources. If your doctor advised you to stop, ask about a plan for your health needs.
- Prepare for a routine: identify one cue and compare physical alternatives.
- Review and adjust: after trying a response, notice what helped. If you return to smoking or vaping, reconnect with support and revise your next step.
Write your next-step plan
Include support for nicotine dependence.
Ask a healthcare professional or quitline about established cessation options. A new routine serves a different role from treatment.
