Quitting after long-term smoking can feel difficult as both the body and mind get used to nicotine. Start by setting a clear quit date and slowly reducing triggers like stress or habits related to smoking. Stay engaged in activities, stay active, and seek support from family or friends. Manage cravings with deep breathing, hydration and avoiding situations that tempt you to smoke. Consult your doctor for structured support and options to help you quit successfully.
