At first glance quitting seems simple… all you have to do is never smoke again, right? Unfortunately, for most people it never quite works that way. On average, it takes smokers about 7 times to quit for good. The good news is that our Quitting Guide can help you end your nicotine addiction once and for all!

It's great that you're planning to stop smoking soon! Many smokers wonder whether they'll be able to quit. In fact, many ex-smokers once had these same doubts, too. What makes ex-smokers successful is that they stay determined and focused throughout the cessation process.

A good place for you to start in the Quitting Guide is our Getting Ready section. It reviews the importance of combining a positive attitude with expert advice and practical quit smoking tips.

The Quitting Guide provides the latest information that can help you make it through the quitting process. It explains why quitting can be so tough and offers tips on planning the best quitting strategy and staying tobacco-free for good. Although it won’t make quitting painless or easy, the Quitting Guide will make it possible when you’re ready!

The Quitting Guide will be tailored to your personal situation with information you provide at registration and by using QuitNet's self-assessment tools.
