The main thing you need before you stop smoking is to decide that that is what you really want to do. Until you have made that decision, it is going to be really hard for you to stop, and you are likely to end up starting back up again in the future.
If you would like to speak to someone about how you can stop smoking, contact LiveWell Dorset or speak to a pharmacy who are running the Smoke Stop programme.
