"The first step for a tobacco user who wants to quit is to pick a date to quit and take time to get ready," says Kohn. “ It’s also helpful to figure out what personal habits and triggers cause nicotine cravings and then find ways to overcome them.” He adds that experts agree tak­ ing action to deal with nicotine urges is an important step in kick­ ing the nicotine habit. Most of the time the triggers that tempt nicotine use can be dealt with by avoiding situations that cause urges, by changing daily routines and by stay­ ing occupied. Another important step is choos­ ing a method to quit. While many people try to quit cold turkey, com- b in in g n ic o tin e re p la c e m e n t therapy and counseling seems to have the best success for most people, according to Kohn.

One year later, the risk o f heart attack has decreased by half. “Most people don’t quit sm ok­ ing overnight,” says Kohn. "Once you are committed to quitting, it’s a good idea to devise a plan and then begin to implement changes available over the counter as nico­ tine patches, nicotine gum and nico­ tine lozenges. It is also available by prescription as inhalers and nasal spray. In addition, experienced cessa­ tio n s p e c ia lis ts are o n -h a n d through the Oregon Tobacco Quit Line to help create personalized quit plans. Specialistscan also make recommendations and answerques- tions about pharmacological prod­ ucts such as the nicotine patch or nicotine gum available in grocery stores and pharmacies. Some health insurance plans pay for these prod­ ucts. To talk to someone at the O r­ egon Tobacco Quit Line, call toll- free 1-877-270-7867 or 1-877-266- 3863 for Spanish callers.
