You might be surprised at what an important role you may have in offering support to someone who is trying to quit. Most smokers say the support of friends or loved ones makes it much easier to consider a quit attempt. In fact, tobacco-users are 50% more likely to quit and stay tobacco free if they have the help and support of family and friends. You may be a key factor in helping your friend or family member quit for good. Even if you’ve never been a smoker yourself.
