May was a tough month for our family. Right after Mother’s Day, my husband’s aunt suffered a brain aneurysm and several seizures. She went through surgeries, times of paralysis, and setbacks but thankfully made it through.

She was told all of this happened because of her smoking addiction. It just goes to show that terrible things can happen to good people. It doesn’t matter who you are. His aunt is the sweetest person in the world. Someone who most definitely didn’t deserve this.

We all know smoking is bad for our health but unfortunately, many people become addicted. Lung cancer and smoking is spoken about quite often but the things his aunt suffered were a surprise to us. She was told that if she smoked again she would die. This resonated very hard with my mother in law.

You see, she too has smoked all of her life and this awful thing that happened; happened to her dear friend. It scared her. It scared her so much that in the midst of it all she quit smoking cold turkey.

Most smokers can’t quit on a drop of a hat like she did. They need to take one day at a time, building up to the big win. There are several things smokers can do to help them quit. To help keep my mother in law on the right path, I decided to put together a little care package and mail it to her. She’s doing great but some days can be harder than others. I know she will win and quit smoking for good with her friends and family’s support!

Quit Smoking Care Package

Stopping an addiction like smoking is hard. Having your friends and family support the non-smoking you is really important. If you know someone who is cutting ties with cigarettes, consider sending them a care package help them quit and let them know you are in their corner.

Any good “Quit Smoking” gift starts with a reliable smoking cessation product like the Nicorette® Lozenges I picked up at CVS Pharmacy.

Having something that relieves your cravings is a must, that way you can stay focused and win. I love that they are convenient and can easily be used in any social situation that arises.

How To Use Nicorette® Lozenges

These directions can also be found on the Nicorette® website:

  • Available in 2 strengths: 2mg and 4mg
  • If you smoke your first cigarette within 30 minutes of waking up, use 4 mg Nicorette® Lozenge
  • If you smoke your first cigarette more than 30 minutes after waking up, use 2 mg Nicorette® Lozenge
  • To improve your chances of quitting, use at least 9 lozenges per day for the first 6 weeks. Do not use more than 5 lozenges in 6 hours or 20 lozenges per day.
  • GSK Consumer Healthcare, the makers of Nicorette® and NicoDerm® CQ®, want to help smokers empower a smoke-free life.

That’s why for every box of Nicorette® or NicoDerm® CQ® purchased at CVS Pharmacy in November, Lung Cancer Awareness Month, GSK Consumer Healthcare will donate $1 to the American Lung Association’s LUNG FORCE (up to $100,000). * Offer valid 10/29/17 – 12/2/17. What a great partnership!

This Quit Smoking Care Package is SO easy to put together…All you have to do is 1) edit the tags, 2) print and cut out the tags, 3) place tags on products, 4) tape wrapping paper to the mailing box flaps, 5) stick on a motivational quote, and 6) put everything into the mailing box with tissue paper!

Products:

    If a person dies not have the willpower to stick to the decision of quitting smoking, this care package though great and a very nice idea, may not work. But a good start to quitting.

    I just love your whole idea of the quit smoking care package. It shows you put a lot of thought into it and I am sure that was greatly appreciated. I agree it is hard to just stop but with your care package, I am sure you are helping her cope with it.

    The instructions on the Kindz giveaway say to tell what my favorite fall craft is — on this blog. It doesn’t seem to fit. Oh well… Every Fall, my favorite craft is crocheting a new cap for my granddaughter. Caps and scarves are fun to make for the grandchildren because they outgrow and lose things easily. And I get to practice new stitches or try new yarns. I have severe anxiety and crocheting is soothing and relaxing. I have just started loom knitting, so am starting a new Fall crafting tradition… loom knitting dishcloths for my daughter 🙂 First one is done, as are two “Messy Bun Caps” for my granddaughter so most of her head is covered while her long, red ponytail hangs freely out of the hole at the top!

    I smoked for many years. Nine years ago I suffered from a brain aneurism(the very same day our 1st grandson was born) and was in a coma for several weeks. I was lucky to have survived. That day was the last time I smoked. Although it has been nine years I still have days where I would love to have a cigarette. Life is grand!!!

    I don’t currently have anyone directly in my life that suffers from a smoking or other addiction (although now that I think about it, I may be addicted to entering sweeps!). I do have two nephews who I am not close to that are addicted to drugs and also smoke. Addictive personalities maybe?
