What a great friend you are!
The good news is that people can stop smoking even though it may be hard.
- Cold turkey – means quitting all together
- Slow but Steady – slowly cutting down until you’re no longer smoking
- Support Groups – are especially helpful for teens. Check with your local hospital, or tribal clinic
Check out TeensHealth for more information, including a personal plan to help your friend quit smoking.
Keep in mind the first few days are the hardest, so make sure you’ve got your friends back by trying to keep them busy with other fun activities. You can also remind your friend that people who don’t smoke look better and have more money in their pockets!
Good luck!
