Get Support
Talk about quitting smoking with family, friends, a Quit Coach, your healthcare provider or doctor. People who will support you while you quit, and be there when you need them.
Identify triggers
What makes you want to smoke? Make a list and think of ways to avoid them — maybe that’s playing a game, reading, exercise that’s safe for you, thinking of your reasons to quit.
Talk with a healthcare provider
If you’re pregnant or thinking of becoming pregnant, it’s important to talk with your healthcare provider or doctor about quitting smoking. Nicotine replacement therapy, like the patch, gum, lozenge and more, are not recommended if you are pregnant or trying to become pregnant.
Talk with a healthcare provider about medications or alternatives that may be right for you. They are the best person to provide you with safe, effective options during your pregnancy.
