Your 10-step Toolbox for
a Tobacco-free Summer
Kelsey-Seybold - The Woodlands Clinic
By Ali Al-Himyary, M.D., board-certified specialist in Pulmonary and Critical
Care Medicine at Kelsey-Seybold - The Woodlands Clinic
Try kicking the cigarette habit with my 10-step toolbox:
1. Set a quit date. Try June 21, Father’s Day and the first day of summer.
2. Get support from family, friends and co-workers.
3. Anticipate nicotine withdrawal cravings and plan to meet the challenges.
4. Total abstinence is essential – don’t take even one puff.
5. Avoid alcohol.
6. Avoid other smokers.
7. Consider prescription medication based on advice from your doctor.
8. Gain lifestyle skills to help you cope with stress.
9. Start exercising. Something as simple as walking 30 minutes a day, three to
four days a week, is beneficial.
10. Remember why you’re quitting. You are determined to improve your health and the quality of life
for you and your family.
For best results, tobacco cessation should be monitored by a knowledgeable
physician. To learn more or to make an appointment, call 713-442 0000, or visit
