something which you do to make somebody else happy.

When you quit smoking you will obviously feel much better about yourself and probably make yourself happier but the chances are you will also make lots of other people happy and this should be a major motivation!

In fact, why not tell your loved ones that you are not going to give them any Christmas presents this year but instead you are going to quit smoking for them.  Research which we have previously published at Ukmedix News shows that many children would happily forgo Christmas presents if their parents were to quit smoking!

Even though the biggest benefit derived from quitting smoking will be a personal health one, you could also benefit from a much stronger relationship by making your quit smoking attempt something which you do to make somebody else happy.

Having a network of supportive people around you will do wonders to your determination and motivation to quit smoking and greatly increase your chances of success. If you can picture your girlfriends or boyfriends face or maybe your children, your parents or anyone else who really wants you to quit because they love you so much you are much more likely to be able to resist the urge to light up!

You could even go one step further than just telling them that you are going to quit for them by getting a card and making a quit smoking promise in the form of a proper document. Putting your words on paper formalises your quit smoking attempt and makes it more difficult for you to get out of it!

Having a strategy and planning how you are going to quit smoking is important. Do not just leave it to chance but instead make sure that you avoid smoking triggers for the first few weeks. Changing your diet and getting some exercise has been shown to reduce smoking cravings.

If necessary have a smoking consultation at the Ukmedix web site where it might be possible for you to get a prescription for the smoking cessation medication Champix.
