Congratulations! You've done it. You've beaten the cigarette habit. You're improving your health and the health of the people around you. The rewards that come with quitting will make you a healthier and happier person. Celebrate with the people on your "support team". Offer your support to friends and coworkers who are trying to quit.

Reward Yourself:
Rewarding yourself helps to reinforce your decision to beat the smoking habit. Give yourself a reward for every milestone in your new life free from tobacco. Rewards don't have to cost much to be special, they can even be free! Rewards can be anything you like or care about. People who reward themselves for quitting are more likely to succeed in quitting. Here are some examples:

• Buy some music, a new CD, tape, or magazine.
• Go to the salon for a new hairstyle or a new look.
• Buy new shoes for running/walking or buy exercise equipment.
• Call an old friend or family member.
• Get tickets for a great concert or sporting event.
• Spend extra time on your favorite hobby.
• Go to the movies or rent an old favorite.
• Go out to a great restaurant and eat a special meal or have a treat.
