• You can access free ni****ne replacement therapy (NRT) products through Quitline, and start your personalised quit plan today to have them delivered straight to your door.

Ways to quit this May include:

• Consult with your GP. Doctors can provide advice on medications to help you quit, including ni****ne replacement therapy (NRT) and prescribed quitting medications.
• Go cold turkey. When it comes to quitting smoking, most people go cold turkey. The key to cold turkey is having self-belief. Find out more here: https://besmokefree.com.au/quitting-smoking-cold-turkey/

Whether you are going cold turkey or using quitting medications this May, you can always get some extra support along the way. Try calling the Quitline (13 7848) with trained counsellors who will listen carefully to meet your needs. Or download the My QuitBuddy App for helpful tips, distraction advice to help battle cravings and smoking facts to help you understand how your health improves after quitting.

Cravings can feel strong - but they don’t last forever.

Most only last a few minutes. What you do in that moment matters.

Try this when a craving hits:
• Take 10 slow breaths
• Go for a quick walk
• Call or text someone
• Distract yourself with something small

Every craving you beat is progress.

Thinking about quitting smoking can feel overwhelming, but having a simple checklist can make your first smoke-free day feel much more manageable.

Planning your quit journey doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming. As you get started, consider:

• Choose your quit date and give yourself time to prepare
• Think about your reasons for quitting - your health, finances, family, or all of the above
• Understand your smoking triggers - is it stress, routine, or habit? Knowing this can help you build better coping strategies. You can also take the one-minute smoking quiz to learn more about your reasons for smoking
• Decide how you’ll quit - find an approach that works for you, and if you’ve tried before, consider trying a different method this time
