#NoBetterTimeToQuit smoking or vaping...especially in the middle of a respiratory disease pandemic!

Whatever your reason for quitting, here are six tips that can help you stick to your quit:

1. Keep trying. Everyone has one thing in common: hitting a few bumps along the way. Keep trying; it takes most people several attempts to quit.

2. Stay positive. Focus on the benefits of quitting and what you’re gaining instead of what you’re giving up. Write these down to remind yourself.

3. Reach out. Connect with friends and family to share your goals—and your struggles. They can help you stay strong and remind you of your reasons for quitting. You don’t have to go it alone.

4. Relax. Relaxing may be more difficult these days if you’re out of your typical routine or not able to see friends and family as often. Try reading, talking on the phone, taking deep breaths, getting outside or practicing yoga.

5. Stay active. You may be sticking around the house more these days, but that doesn’t mean you have to be inactive—try going for a walk, riding your bike, or doing an at-home workout. Doing something that gets you moving helps clear your mind and makes it easier to deal with new challenges. Start small and keep moving until you feel better.

6. Fuel your body. Find the right mix of foods—including treats—to keep yourself full of energy. Try different recipes to find something that’s both healthy and tasty.
