A Smoker Quit Smoking
"Getting
Started"

The first move has to come from
the smoker. People who really want to quit smoking stand a better chance
of sticking to their decision. Letting a person know you care and that
you are "there for them" can be a big help.
Ask a smoker, "How can
I help?" If the person can't come up with ideas right away, wait
until you get some clues. Most smokers would like to be free of
cigarettes.
You can help by extending
your support and care to the smoker. Understand why the smoker may
experience frustrations and irritability and give them your best
support. Sometimes helping them buy sugar free candies can show them
that you care. Or simply spending time with them in smoke-free places or
doing similar smoke-free activities can keep them occupied and get used
to not smoking.
