MrShortcut invite YOU to quit smoking here at the world's largest and most exciting personal web site
With special thanks to the Natl Cancer Institute and the Natl Institutes of Health for creating this program

Just Before Quitting

• Practice going without cigarettes.
  
  
• Don't think of never smoking again. Think of quitting in terms of 1 day at a time.
  
  
• Tell yourself you won't smoke today, and then don't.
  
  
• Clean your clothes to rid them of the cigarette smell, which can linger a long time.

On the Day You Quit

• Throw away all your cigarettes and matches. Hide your lighters and ash trays.
  
  
• Visit the dentist and have your teeth cleaned to get rid of tobacco stains. Notice how nice they look and resolve to keep them that way.
  
  
• Make a list of things you'd like to buy for yourself or someone else. Estimate the cost in terms of packs of cigarettes, and put the money aside to buy these presents.
  
  
• Keep very busy on the big day. Go to the movies, exercise, take long walks, go bike riding.
  
  
• Remind your family and friends that this is your quit date, and ask them to help you over the rough spots of the first couple of days and weeks.
  
  
• Buy yourself a treat or do something special to celebrate.
