Quit Smoking Line
How can I help my mum to quit smoking?
My mum started smoking around the age of 14. She was a heavy smoker for a long time, almost one packet a day. When we lived in New Zealand, she decided to quit and called the quit smoking help line. She quit for a bit but then we moved to Australia – shes now smoking. Not heavily, about half a cigarette every 1-4 days. She DOES want to quit but the quitline in Australia is only for permanent residences which we are not.
She knows all the bad affects and she wish she wasn’t a smoker.
So what can I do to help?
I recommend cutting down gradually until your quit date. I did this. I cut down to half a pack. I did this for three months. I smoked by the puff, not by the cigarette. I took only the amount of nicotine that was necessary to satisfy my urge to smoke and put the rest of the cigarette out.
After doing this for three months I quit cold turkey.
