The decision to stop smoking is usually not one that occurs overnight. Everything has a cycle and a process - quitting smoking is no exception. In general, there are five stages in the decision to quit:
Pre-contemplation: This is the stage when you are not even thinking about quitting. You are not ready to start any process.
Contemplation: During this stage, you begin to seriously consider quitting.
Preparation: It is during this stage that you may set a 'quit date' and start looking into quitting programs. You are actively preparing to quit.
Action: You actually quit. You may need help with the withdrawal symptoms.
Maintenance and Termination: You build the skills and confidence you need to stay smoke-free for good.
