Dear students in Class 20 Grade 2,
Can you help me, please? I have tried to stop smoking several times. I

Yours sincerely

Tips on how to quit smoking
Write down why you want to quit (the benefits of quitting): live longer,
feel better, for your family, save money, smell better, find a mate more
easily, etc. You know what's bad about smoking and you know what
you'll get by quitting. Put it on paper and read it daily.
Set a quit date. Decide what day you will extinguish your cigarettes forever. Write it down. Plan for it.
Ask your family and friends to support your decision to quit.
Talk with your doctor about quitting.
Begin an exercise program.
Do some deep breathing each day for 3 to 5 minutes.
Cut back on cigarettes gradually.
Drink lots of water.
Find something to hold in your hand and mouth, to replace cigarettes.
Whenever you have a craving for a cigarette, instead of lighting up, writedown your feelings or whatever is on your mind.
Believe in yourself. Believe that you can quit.

Sample Letter
Dear Li Xiaolei,
I am sorry you have had so much trouble to stop smoking, but I am
glad you are still trying. I hope the tips below will help you.
First of all, don't give up. The more often you try the more likely you are to eventually succeed.
When you feel irritable, don't automatically reach for a cigarette to makeyou feel better. Take a few moments to relax. Start by breathing deeply
and lifting your arms out to the side and over your head.
It is a good idea to drink lots of water and eat lots of fruit when you
are quitting smoking. This will help to remove the nicotine from your
body faster and you won't feel so sick.
It is normal to feel a little stressed when you first give up smoking, but try to remember that it will only last a few days and then you will
begin to feel much better.
Keep up the good work, Li Xiaolei ,and remind yourself how much healthier you will be when you finally quit.
Good luck and best wishes,
Sun Gao
