More information from the text
Suppose one of your friends who is addicted to smoking want to quit, but he/she don’t know how to do, please write a letter to him/her to give some advice.
Be sure to use your own words
Choose a day that is not stressful to quit smoking. Make a list of all the benefits you will get from stopping smoking. Throw away all your cigarettes at the end of the day before you plan to quit. Reread the list of benefits you wrote when you feel like smoking. Develop some other habits like walking, drinking some water, cleaning the house and so on to keep yourself busy. If you feel nervous or stressed, try to do some relaxation exercises like deep breathing. You can stop smoking with a friend or join a group. The most important thing is to keep trying. don’t feel ashamed if you weaken because some people have to try many times before they finally quit smoking. Never give up and you will succeed.
