Ask A Friend For Support

What support does for you

Announcing plans to quit and getting help from loved ones is a proven way to increase the odds of successful quitting.

How to do it

Ask a friend who smokes to quit with you, and tell other friends who smoke not to smoke around you while you’re trying to quit. If any friends smoke in front of you and/or make fun of you for being a ‘quitter’, consider avoiding them until you are over the hump.

Ask friends to send you positive, encouraging emails, tweets or messages via facebook.
