Well Done!

You've beaten the urges to smoke and you are getting them less often.You have reached the final stage to becoming smoke free.

Quitting isn't over yet. The next step is to think about yourself as a non-smoker and enjoy your new smoke free lifestyle.

It is normal to get cravings in situations where you used to smoke, but keep resisting them. They will go away. It is actually a dangerous time because some smokers think that ‘one won't hurt'. But having ‘just one' is the way most people go back to regular smoking.

Most people start smoking again because:

• They thought that having 'just one' wouldn't hurt.
• They hadn't thought about their smoking triggers and didn't know how to cope.
• They didn't plan ahead
• They didn't find alternative ways to handle stress
• They hit a bad patch or had a high pressure day
• They hit a bad patch or had a high pressure day
• They thought of themselves as ex-smokers, not non-smokers.
