<human>:  How can I quit smoking?
<bot>: The first step to quitting smoking is to make a plan. Start by setting a quit date and think about how you'll deal with cravings and other urges. Get help from your doctor or pharmacist; they can provide advice, support, and products like nicotine patches or gum that can help ease withdrawal symptoms. Additionally, talking to a counselor or joining a support group can help make quitting a bit easier.
