Whatever long-term condition you are living with, stopping smoking can help manage your condition. Some people find it easier than others to stop smoking, so we’ve put together this list of online resources to help you.

Identify your triggers

Sometimes certain things make us want to smoke such as stress. Noticing these patterns can help you plan ahead and also avoid situations where you may be tempted.

Pace yourself

Take it one day at a time.

Buddy up

It can be great to have someone to hold you accountable and encourage you.

Use nicotine supplementation

Patches and sprays can help with withdrawal.

Celebrate the little things
