Reasons for not changing are probably still on your mind. However, a few reasons to quit may be feeling stronger. Maybe you’re a little worried about health problems or have a new child or grandchild on the way.

What has changed for you since you started smoking, dipping, or vaping?

Some of the reasons people quit go hand-in-hand with the reasons they started:

*  Friends/family have quit or you have more friends/family that now disapprove of the habit.

*  A cigarette, dip, or vape just doesn’t give you the same “high” anymore.

*  The ritual interrupts day to day life, special occasions, movies, etc. more than it once did.

*  What used to be a cheaper product has gotten more expensive.

*  While tobacco/nicotine feels like an escape from problems, the stressors and issues that needed solving are still there.

It’s true: tobacco ends up taking control of your health, your finances, and your life! What started out as fun or relaxing becomes expensive, demanding, and harmful over time.

Parts 1 and 2 of this program will help you explore your choice to quit. Spend some time with each section, answering the questions as best you can.
