A to Z of Stopping Smoking

There are many websites designed to help you stop smoking. Studies have shown they can help you achieve lasting success, but more research is needed.

There are a few things to look for in a stop smoking website.

1. Use a free website - there are plenty of good ones available that don't cost anything.

2. Choose a website that forces you to pick a quit date and then offers a follow up programme.

3. Use a website that encourages the use of Nicotine Replacement Therapy (e.g. nicotine patch, gum etc.) - websites that teach you how to use these products effectively can boost your chances of success.

4. Make sure the website offers tailored advice and techniques on how to cope with cravings.

5. Finally, try to pick a website that appeals to you visually - it will make you much more likely to go back and complete the programme.
