It’s important to note that
It’s important to note that while going “cold turkey” is often difficult, it holds the greatest health benefits, but that is only if you stick with quitting. The withdrawals are strong when you try to quit all at once, especially if you’ve smoked for many years or smoke a few packs a day. And if you struggle with the withdrawals and start again then you might be back to square one.
If you are going to quit, whether you’ve decided to quit all at once or over time, consult your doctor. They can give you tools and refer you to resources that will help with all the facets of why you smoke.
