It’s never too late to quit smoking. Quitting smoking now saves you money and reduces your risk of heart disease, cancer, lung disease, and other smoking-related illnesses. There are numerous way to quit smoking, but we recommend:
Call A Quit Line
Call 1-800-QUIT-NOW to get help stopping smoking for free, without judgement. Speak to a quit coach who can help create a plan that works for you. Get help accessing quit-smoking medications and get tips on dealing with cravings and withdrawal.
Quit lines are proven to increase your chances of quitting successfully and staying quit.
Try A Self Help Book
Amazon is full of self help books that are written specifically to help you quit smoking, why not give one a try?
Allen Carr’s book, Easy Way to Stop Smoking is a self-help classic, with over 20 million copies sold worldwide. It outsells all other quit smoking books combined. In the book Allen Carr outlines a simple approach to quitting smoking. I personally recommend this book to friends and family members.

There is no “one size fits all” solution to smoking, if the above ideas don’t work for you, the CDC has additional resources for quitting smoking.
