Make a Quit Plan

Step 3: Quit Day

Talk to your doctor or call the Tobacco Quit Line to decide on a plan and resources that can effectively help you quit. Other local resources are available to help you find quit programs near you.

  • Do not smoke or chew tobacco!
  • Stay active. Try walking, exercising or doing other activities to keep your mind off of tobacco products. Carry a stress ball if it helps.
  • Drink lots of water and juices.
  • Begin using nicotine replacement therapy or join a class, if that is your choice.
  • Avoid situations where the urge to use tobacco products is strong.
  • Reduce or avoid alcohol.
  • Change your routine.
  • Use oral substitutes when you feel an urge.
