Smokers who plan before they quit are more successful than those who don’t, and planning can be done quickly. There are four stages of getting ready:

	Understand your nicotine addiction
	Know why you smoke
	Plan ways to deal with quitting
	Set a date to quit

This site has information to help you learn about your addiction, your smoking triggers (why you smoke) and describes different ways of quitting. While many people quit without any help, there is always help available.

Whether you are thinking about quitting, planning to quit, coping with cravings and withdrawal or resisting 'just one cigarette', the Quit because you can booklet is for you. The Quit book contains many tips and checklists to help you plan your Quit attempt. If you live in South Australia and would like to order a Quit Pack, email us, giving us your postal address. Otherwise, you can view the book online.
