Once you're ready to quit smoking, you'll need a
Your Quit Plan.
Most smokers who succeed "cold turkey" make changes in their smoking habit before they quit. "Cold turkey" does not mean quitting without any planning or on the spur of the moment. In fact, when we polled AARP members about smoking, quitters often said they'd set a quit date in advance. They also changed their smoking patterns and got help from friends. You're more likely to quit for good if you start to break down your nicotine addiction and smoking habit before you quit. (Call it "smart turkey").
This part of Clear Horizons gives you three ways to make "cold turkey" quitting easier. These methods work alone or together. Look them over on the next page, and pick the ones you think will work the best for you.
