How Can One Quit Smoking Despite Socializing With Smokers?
Question: How can I try to quit when everybody around me smokes.
Brief Answer:
Willpower and motivation
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
It requires planning and commitment. Usually going to a de-addiction center/ quit-smoking class and using NRT chewing gum will help you. A combination of these will help you to be smoke-free.
When everyone around you smokes and you want to quit, you can only do it through your strong willpower. I would suggest you start and motivate others to quit. That is the best way.
Hope I have answered your query.
Take care
