Research Notes on Helping Someone Quit Cigarette Smoking

Written by the OrganizedWisdom Team with Scott Pearlman, M.D. as the reviewer. All original content is supervised by the The OrganizedWisdom Medical Review Team

There are ways to help someone quit cigarette smoking. When someone has decided to quit smoking it is helpful for you to be patient, positive, and understanding.1 Don't take it personal if someone who is trying to quit smoking seems moody. This grumpiness typically passes in around two weeks. If the person who has decided quit slips and smokes a cigarette, don't scold or make them feel bad. If someone goes back to smoking, remind this person that many people make several attempts at quitting before they successfully quit smoking.2
