Be prepared
However you decide to stop smoking, it's vital to think it through and be prepared for any difficulties that may lie ahead.

Pick up the phone
Telephone advice lines can be really useful as they provide support on preparing to stop, staying stopped or any other issues, like information on products that might help you give up smoking.

Professional help
Trained staff will give you encouragement if you’re going through a bad patch, and can refer you on to counsellors if necessary.
