The best quit smoking support you can provide is to offer patience, understanding and love and make the smokers life easier in the first few days. So you will find some advices about how you can support a smoker who wants to quit.
Understand
Because of giving up cigarettes the smoker may have severe emotional outbursts, be depressed, irritable, and even irrational. It is crucial with your quit smoking support that you do not encourage the smoker to take a cigarette rather than act like that (this is the worst thing you can do, because theyll do just that). You must understand that smoking is not a simple little annoyance, but a powerful and deadly addiction. They are confronting with a physiological need as well as an ingrained psychological dependence. So you must encourage the smoker as you know better and try to tolerate their temporary emotional outbursts.
You will have a great satisfaction when they will return to normal and you will know you helped them over a great challenge of their lives.
