Smoking is one of the most common preventable causes of death. Every research program aimed to determine death rates in people habitual of smoking drew same results that more than half of people who smoke die because of diseases caused by smoking. Quitting smoking can cut down number of deaths because of diseases caused by smoking. People who develop smoking habit find it very hard to give it up that is why lots of studies have been made on stop smoking and a special name is given to process of quitting smoking known as smoking cessation.

Today’s discussion will help you in creating a personal smoking cessation plan for a person according to his health condition and intensity of smoking habit. Have a look of basic points to be considered while developing a smoking cessation plan:

First of all you will make a smoker feel that quitting is essential for him to live healthier. Try to inject good reasons for quitting in mind of smoker and motivate him to give up this unhealthy habit so, make a separate section with heading of why stop smoking and provide a list of benefits of quitting. Then make another section containing useful tips to quit smoking. Ask the smoker about people who can help him in following this smoking cessation plan and write down names of people. Provide outlines of new behaviors to adopt. Suggest medicine and instruct him to use this medication properly. Make the smoker aware of difficult situations he will face in stop smoking to strengthen his willpower. Last section of personal smoking cessation plan will be all about starting date and some commitments to face cravings with patience.
