Everyone’s experience with quitting is a little different. But here are some things you may notice: – Difficulty being around smokers – Good days and bad days – Withdrawal symptoms, such as irritability – Being able to breathe better – Situations that challenge your motivation to keep going – Cravings that are strong at first, but weaker with time – A growing sense of accomplishment

Quitting smoking is a challenging process, and it’s common for people to need several attempts before they succeed. The most important thing you can do is be patient, understanding, and supportive. Nagging or pressuring them is not helpful. Instead, ask how you can assist, and listen without judgment. Educating yourself about the quitting process can make a big difference. You can also join our free program to work with a Quit Coach for additional guidance. Visit our Friends and Family page to learn more about how our team of Quit Coaches can support you in helping the tobacco user in your life. We also suggest watching the video How to Help Someone Quit Smoking, available in both English and Spanish on our YouTube channel.
