What helped other people avoid relapse??  Here are tips from people who quit!

• Keep a list of "slips" and near slips, what caused them and what you can learn from them.
  
  
• Don't smoke any number or any kind of cigarette. Smoking even a few cigarettes a day can hurt your health. If you try to smoke fewer cigarettes, but do not stop completely, soon you'll be smoking the same amount again.
  
  
• Smoking "low-tar, low-nicotine" cigarettes usually does little good, either. Because nicotine is so addictive, if you switch to lower-nicotine brands you'll likely just puff harder, longer, and more often on each cigarette. The only safe choice is to quit completely.
  
  
• Using smokeless tobacco can be as harmful as smoking. Using it can quickly lead to addiction. Like smoking, dipping or chewing has serious health effects, including oral cancer, gum problems, loss of teeth, and heart problems.
