Here are the pieces of advice that apply to someone trying to quit smoking:
-
Tell them to throw away their ashtrays and cigarette lighters - This helps remove triggers and temptations that could lead to a relapse.
-
Have them tell some friends so they can receive support - Having a support system can significantly help someone in their quitting journey.
The other two options are generally not advisable:
-
Telling them to eat candy instead of smoking may not address the underlying habit and could lead to other unhealthy choices.
-
Having them hang around people who are smoking is likely to increase temptation and make it harder for them to quit.
So, the two applicable pieces of advice are the first and the last.
