Support for young people and their supporters

You can start stepping away from a habit, even when it feels automatic

Cigarettes or vaping can quickly become part of stress, friends, school, or screen time. This is not a lecture or a blame space — it is a place to choose one small step and build from it.

  • Choose one moment in the day that feels hardest and write down what is happening around it instead of blaming yourself.
  • Try delaying one use by ten minutes and fill that time with water, a short walk, music, or a message to someone you trust.
  • If it feels right, talk with a trusted adult, doctor, counsellor, or healthcare team. You do not have to handle it alone.

QuitSmokingIL is a support and habit tool, not a substitute for treatment or personal professional advice. In severe distress or immediate danger, contact local emergency services or a qualified professional right away.
