Expert's quit smoking tips

Set a date to quit. The sooner, the better, but some time in the next two weeks.

• Talk with your doctor about medication to help while you quit. The latest federal treatment guidelines recommend nicotine replacement or bupropion (Zyban) for nearly all smokers. Exception: pregnant women (except on a case-by-case basis).

• Involve your friends, family, co-workers. Social support combined with drug treatment boosts success rates.

• Avoid alcohol. It can undermine willpower. Go on the wagon for the first two months while quitting smoking or at least limit yourself to two drinks or fewer per day.

• No dieting. Studies say it's a recipe for quitting failure. Stock up on low-calorie munchies and expect to gain seven to 10 pounds. Most people lose those extra pounds eventually.

• Exercise to limit weight gain, improve sleep.

• Drink lots of fluids to flush nicotine from the body.

• Find a phone buddy or an Internet quit line.

• Engage in zero tolerance. Studies show that smoking even one cigarette can lead to smoking again — even after years of abstinence

Tricks to help you quit smoking

By The Washington Post

Smoking is a habit as well as an addiction and thus susceptible to change using some familiar — and sound — psychological tricks. Among them:

Gradually reduce the amount of each cigarette smoked by drawing a mark one-quarter of the way between the filter and the tip. Smoke only to the mark. Each week, move the mark toward the tip, until only one-quarter of each cigarette is smoked.

Cut back on the number of cigarettes smoked daily. Pack-a-day smokers are advised to discard two cigarettes from the pack each morning and smoke the rest of the pack. The following week, discard four cigarettes and so on until a "pack" contains 10 to 12 cigarettes. Then move to complete abstinence.

Make a list of why you want to quit smoking. Keep the list with your cigarettes as a reminder.

Before you quit, develop a list of risky situations that are likely to tempt you to smoke again and think of strategies to counter them. For example, if you always smoke when you go meet friends at a bar, bring along something that will occupy your mouth and hands instead of smoking: gum, mints and/or nicotine replacement including nicotine gum, inhaler or nasal spray. Better yet: Meet your friends at another location where you may not be as tempted to smoke.

Write a goodbye letter to cigarettes and tobacco, a symbolic way of letting go and a task required of all participants in the weeklong inpatient tobacco-cessation program at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
