Consuming less sodium can significantly lower your risk for heart attack -- but making strides in that department requires a little more than just putting down the salt shaker.
Make a detailed list of your reasons for wanting to quit (e.g., health benefits, saving money).
Keep a diary of when you smoke (or use tobacco) and the triggers that prompt you.
Research the available options in your area for information and support about quitting.
Set a date for quitting. (On this date, get rid of ashtrays, lighters, all tobacco products, and anything else you associate with smoking or using tobacco.)
