Contact your specially trained school nurse for practical help and advice

Plan ahead so that you know exactly what to do in difficult situations

Pick a quit date that is likely to be stress-free – and stick to it

Pair up with someone else who wants to quit and support each other

IF THE NURSE SAYS IT’S APPROPRIATE, use Nicotine Replacement Therapy to help you manage the cravings

Avoid situations where you might be tempted to smoke during the first few weeks

Save the money you would have spent on smoking and have a special treat

Take 1 day at a time – or even 1 hour at a time – to make it easy on yourself

Don’t think ‘just one’ won’t hurt – IT WILL!

Be positive – this is the best thing you’ll ever do for yourself – YOU CAN DO IT!
