Quitting Early: Cessation Tips for Young Adults
Smoking cigarettes is a common issue. According to research, it is more difficult to
quit smoking when your body has been relying on this foreign stimulus for a long
time. This research published in Addiction in 2021 monitored thousands of smokers
between 2002 and 2014 and found that younger users are more likely to successfully
quit for at least 30 days of abstinence. That’s because older users are more likely to
smoke heavily and may thus be less encouraged to make quit attempts.
Cessation is always a challenging process, but an earlier quit attempt increases one’s
chances for success. In this article, we go over a few cessation tips to help young
adults in this journey.
