Stop Smoking: Quit Your Way
Smoking is widely recognised as one of the most harmful habits for your health, yet stopping can be challenging. With the support of Razi Meds Pharmacy’s Stop Smoking Service, you don’t have to quit alone. While smoking rates in the UK continue to decline and smoke-free living is now the norm, millions of adults still smoke and want effective support to stop.
Why giving up smoking is difficult?
Quitting smoking can be hard even for highly motivated individuals because nicotine is highly addictive. When you stop smoking, your body may experience withdrawal symptoms as it adjusts to the absence of nicotine. Common symptoms include:
- Strong urges to smoke
- Weight gain
- Headaches
- Difficulty sleeping
- Poor concentration
- Tiredness
- Restlessness
- Irritability
Understanding these symptoms can help you prepare and manage them more effectively.
Tips to help you quit:
- Ask friends and family for support and request that they do not smoke around you
- Avoid replacing cigarettes with food; try a short walk or another activity to manage cravings
- Set aside the money you would have spent on cigarettes to track your progress
- Stay positive—each smoke-free day is an achievement
- E-cigarettes may help some people quit, but they are not risk-free and should be used with professional advice
