As the New Year unfolds, if one of your resolutions is to quit smoking, just do it as it is a sure shot way to good health.

According to recent report, smoking damages cells and tissues, causing grave harm. Imagine, just one cigarette can seriously damage DNA.


One of the first steps to take in order to give up the habit is to have a clearly laid out plan which is crucial for success.

Have a talk with your doctor about the several prescription medicines and over-the-counter-drugs which can help.

Select the quit date, keep the medications and tools ready.

Start relaxation and deep breathing exercises. Keep a plan ready for those tempting moments in order to resist the urge to smoke.

Eat healthy food and exercise well.
