Just looking at the basic facts about smoking, it can have many negative health effects on the body and is the leading cause of preventable death from lung cancer in the United States. For others, the financial burden of purchasing tobacco can be a reason. Family and friends who are impacted by one’s smoking habits can also be a motivation to quit. Often it is not a matter of finding a reason to quit, but rather how to quit and to keep it that way that is the challenge. One of the ways to truly succeed in quitting smoking is having a plan on how to quit. It is necessary to know what your withdrawal symptoms look like and what your own personal triggers to smoking are.
