The Importance of Support When You Quit Smoking

Your commitment to quit smoking permanently will be much easier to sustain if you have strong, positive support around you. Friends and family can be helpful, but they may not understand the depth of what quitting smoking means to you, especially if they've never smoked. You may be left feeling as though you're not getting acknowledged for the hard work you're putting into cessation. Use the support offered at our Smoking Cessation Forum here at About.com. You'll meet people who are going through just what you are, or have been there and can offer constructive advice.

Your resolve will be bolstered more than you can imagine just by being around others who have the same goals you do. Stop in and browse as a guest, or register (free) and join the conversation.
