Remember that withdrawal symptoms are easier to treat than the major diseases that smoking can cause. You may still have the desire to smoke, since there are many strong associations with smoking. People may associate smoking with specific situations, with a variety of emotions or with certain people in their lives. The best way to overcome these associations is to experience them without smoking. Seventy-five percent of those who quit relapse.
Most smokers quit three times before they are successful.
Plan ahead and think about what you will do next time you get the urge to smoke.
