Health Tip of the Week
Helping Someone Quit
Smoking
If someone you know is
trying to quit smoking, there’s a lot you can do to help. Simply being
supportive and available to lend an ear is a big part of the process.
Sometimes the best
thing you can be is a sounding board for whenever a bad craving strikes. Here
are some tips to help make these transitions easier.
Helping Someone Decide to Quit
-
You can gently encourage someone who smokes to quit. Think of your comments about smoking as only one event that moves that person toward quitting.
-
Start any discussion of quitting in a gentle way.
-
Let the person know why you want him or her to quit. Give the person reasons that are as important to him or her as they are to you. (Try "I want you to be with us for long time" rather than "I'm tired of cleaning your dirty ashtrays.")
-
One good way to begin is to mention a new treatment option you have heard or read about.
-
Make it short (less than 5 minutes).
-
Ask whether there is a way that you can help him or her quit.
-
Repeat your attempt every 6 to 12 months.
