Tips help to
quit smoking

IT’S TIME to put your good in-
tentions and New Year’s resolu-
tions into full gear by living up to
your commitment to stop smoking.

Jan. 15 to 21 is National Non-
Smoking Week.

Follow these basic principles to
help you kick the habit and start
on the road, 10 a smoke-free
lifestyle.

1. MOTIVATION

It’s the key to any goal. You
must want to quit for yourself —
not for your friends, not for your
family.

2. ANALYSE

Find out which situations make
you crave a cigarette, write them
down and look for a pattern.

3. IMAGINE .
Think of yourself as a non-
smoker: healthy and smoke-free.

4. SUPPORT

Enlist the aid of your family and
friends. Talk to your doctor; he
may recommend a smoking cessa-
tion aid, nicotine chewing gum, to
help you cope with your commiuni-
ty for smoking cessation programs
offered by focal health agencies.

5. PLANNING
Stay away from situations you
associate with smoking such as

parties or bars. Not forever — just
for now.

6. ACTIVITY

Keep active. Take up a new
hobby or rediscover an old one to
take your mind off cigarettes.

7. LIVE

Continue to eat normally and
consider starting an exercise pro-
gram to help avoid weight gain.
Try to enjoy life.

8. SUBSTITUTE

Keep a bowl of low calorie
snacks nearby. When you crave a
cigarette, substitute a carrot stick,
chew sugarless gum or have a diet
drink instead of a_high-calorie
snack,

9. REPROGRAM

Break the habit. If coffee signals
cigarettes, switch to tea. An after
dinner cigarette? Go for a stroll in
the moonlight instead.

10. BE OPTIMISTIC

Quitting is'a process, not an
event. If you slip up, don’t get
discouraged, try again.
