Quit Smoking Doubts

I’m Not Ready to Quit Smoking

Thinking of quitting smoking but not sure if you’re ready? You might want to ask yourself these questions:

What is running through my mind telling me I’m not ready to quit? Is it related to:

• My enjoyment of smoking? Check out how to overcome this common doubt
• Stress and how I’ll cope without smoking? See how quitting makes you feel better
• My previous experiences of withdrawal symptoms? Learn more about withdrawal symptoms
• Lack of support or too many other people around me smoking? Find out how to deal with other smokers

Would it help me to take things slower and try cutting down instead of stopping smoking abruptly? Read about ‘cut down and stop’ with NRT, as well as pre-quitting using NRT patches.

If I delay my quit smoking attempt, will it really be easier then? Will quitting ever just ‘happen’ – or do I need to make it happen?

It’s ok to feel as though you’re entering unfamiliar territory when you quit smoking. The important thing is to recognise what’s holding you back so you can overcome your doubts.
