Congratulations for deciding to stop
smoking. It's one of the best things you can do for your health. Smoking is a
powerful addiction, and this section of the site will help you get ready to
stop smoking. You can find out how to
Create a Plan to stop smoking that will work
for you, and how to inspire yourself to
Keep Going, and stay on track, even if you
slip.
As nicotine is very
addictive, stopping smoking is a process that takes time and often
requires several tries. Like most people, you may have started to smoke at an
early age, and became addicted to nicotine without even realizing it.
Nicotine is the addictive chemical in
tobacco that makes you feel good. It helps you enjoy good experiences, and
helps you feel better when you are upset. A lack of nicotine is what drives you
to smoke during stressful situations. Feeling like you 'want' or 'need' to
smoke is a part of the nicotine addiction.
If you understand the situations that
lead you to smoke, you can learn to handle these situations without tobacco.
Don't be discouraged if you need to make several attempts at stopping. Each
time you try to stop, you learn more about yourself and what you need to change
to stay on track. The important thing is that you now want to be free from this
very powerful addiction.
The ZYBAN®Net System is here
to support you. The ZYBAN®Net booklet that you received with your
ZYBAN® prescription contains tips to help you create a plan to stop
smoking that will work for you.
