Quitting smoking, vaping, or any nicotine use isn’t easy. It takes time and starts with a plan. You don’t have to stop smoking in one day…just start with day one! 
Maybe November 19th, the Great American Smokeout date this year, would be a good day to try going smoke, vape, or nicotine-free—even for just one day!
Here are 3 steps the American Cancer Society recommends to get started with quitting smoking, vaping, or oral nicotine use:
1.Set your quit date and share it with family and friends so you have positive support system in place; you don't have to go it alone!
2.Make a plan on how to manage your day without smoking, such as activities to shift your focus and keep you occupied when cravings hit;
3.Discuss your quitting plan with your doctor, who can help with counseling, medications, and other support strategies.
Don’t go it alone! For facts about smoking, vaping, and other nicotine use, as well as a variety of in-person and digital quit resources for any age, visit:
