Mr- Shortcut invite YOU to quit smoking here at the world's biggest self-empowerment website
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.
