Make a plan to stop smoking today with the help of "The Great American Smokeout"
On a white background, a cigarette is stubbed out into a mound of ash.
One of the most difficult things you can do is stop using tobacco.
It's also not something that can be broken in a single day, like many habits. It takes time. It requires planning and time.
Even if it takes you a few attempts to stop smoking, having a plan can increase your success.
Perhaps you've already tried, but did you know there's a phone app that can help you develop a plan and cope with cravings?
Or did you know that all it takes is a phone call to a quit coach to receive free one-on-one counselling?
The American Cancer Society's Great American Smokeout® is held on November 17 and encourages people to start the process of quitting smoking and living a smoke-free life.
Are you prepared to start?
You can create a quit plan right away by taking the online questionnaire at smokefree.gov, which is free, simple, and quick to use in the 2Morrow Health app.
The test will assist you in:
- Decide when to stop
- Determine how much money you may save by stopping
- Explain your motivation for stopping
- Learn what causes you to smoke.
- Obtain tools for success
Did you realise?
If you allow your body the chance to heal, it is strong and capable.
What occurs after your final cigarette is as follows:

- Within three months, your lungs start to operate better and your circulation gets better.
