Quit your way in May

Quit your way in May Thinking about quitting smoking or vaping? May is the perfect time to give it a go! Whether that’s cutting down or stopping for good. Every step counts!

Join Quit Your Way in May and take on the challenge in a way that works for you. ‘Quit your way in May’ encourages you to try quitting smoking in May in the way that best suits you. There is no single best way to quit. Often you can only really discover what works for you by trying to quit. So, hopefully May is the month when you are able to quit for good, but for some people it might be about qui

tting for just the month or part of the month. Even if you return to smoking after your quit attempt in May, you will have enhanced knowledge and skills to undertake another attempt in the future. One of the best parts of ‘Quit your way in May’ is that you won’t be doing it on your own. Hundreds of other people will be having their last cigarette on 30 April and waking up on 1 May without reaching for a cigarette. You can chat with them on our Facebook group - the ‘Quit your way' support group - and share your tips, struggles and breakthroughs.

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
