Your support will mean a lot to anyone trying to quit, but it’s important to be mindful of how you’re helping. If you’re not sure how you can help, we’ve put together some tips on what you can do to support others.
Support After Quitting
Having support after you stop smoking is critical. You may experience withdrawal symptoms, or maybe even relapse. But with the right support you can stay on track, or have the confidence to start again.

Proven Tips to Quit
The quitting journey is unique for everyone, and quitting plans will vary from person to person. However, something that every plan should include is how to identify and manage your nicotine withdrawals and triggers to smoke.
Quitting takes practice, so it’s important to remember the reasons you quit and access the support available to help you keep on track.
