You might be ready to quit smoking if you’ve started asking yourself questions like:

  • Is smoking affecting my health or the health of my family?
  • Would it be easier to get fit if I stopped?
  • Can I smell smoke on my clothes, hair or breath - and can other people?
  • Am I spending less on other things because cigarettes are so expensive?
