It might help you identify your reasons for quitting. Step 1 - Make the decision Make a list of all the reasons you want to quit. Keep your list handy and add to it when you think of other reasons, and, most important, read your list when you can't remember why you wanted to quit. It's common to forget your reasons when you first quit and start to feel like you want a cigarette. Talk to other kids who stopped smoking and ask them how they quit.
Some people quit better in a group setting or on their own.
Think about which way works for you. The American Cancer Society, American Lung Association, American Heart Association and school counselors have information on quitting smoking, including free classes that may help.

Step 2 - Commit to quit This means that you're ready to tell other people about your decision. Clean your clothes and car so when you quit, the smell of cigarettes on your clothes and in your car won't remind you of smoking.
