Tobacco Facts
Why Quit?
How can I quit?
One way to help reduce your use of tobacco is to practice the 4 D’s:
Delay
Delay using tobacco. The strong urge to use tobacco only lasts about three minutes.
Drink
Drink lots of water instead of alcohol or drinks with caffeine.
Deep Breathe
A deep breath relieves some of the urge to use tobacco and fills the lungs with oxygen.
It will make you feel better.
Do
Do something else to take your mind off the urge to use tobacco.
There are also medications that can help you reduce or quit.
Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) provides the body with nicotine to reduce withdrawal symptoms (anxiety, irritability, headaches, and difficulty concentrating) and your urge to use tobacco. It can double your chance of quitting.
Prescription medications do not contain nicotine. They work in various ways, depending on the medication, as an aid to quit using tobacco. They have been shown to significantly improve your chances of quitting.
Talk to a doctor or pharmacist if you are interested in using any NRT or prescription medication to find out which ones are right for you.
For additional support call the AlbertaQuits helpline at 1-866-710-QUIT (7848). Services are available in languages other than English.
