2. Choose a date. Make sure you have enough time to prepare to quit smoking.
3. See a doctor. Ask your doctor what your options are in managing your withdrawal symptoms. You can also buy over-the-counter products such as nicotine gum‚ nicotine patches‚ and nicotine lozenges to help manage withdrawal symptoms.
