• Your loved one has decided to quit chewing
  tobacco. The decision alone causes you to
  celebrate, but the decision is only the first
  part of the long battle ahead of your loved one.
  They will need all of the love and support you
  can offer them during this difficult yet
  rewarding time in their life. You can comfort and
  support your loved one by following these simple
  tips.

Reward Progress

• Quitting cold turkey is a very difficult
  proposition for many people. When they make
  progress, you should reward them somehow. Maybe
  there is a movie coming out that they want to
  see. You could also take them out to a nice
  dinner as a reward for their progress. You have
  plenty of options, but its important to remember
  to be supportive.

Understand Relapses

• There could be times when your loved one falls
  back into their ways of chewing tobacco
  regularly. Dont scold them or punish them. Help
  them to understand that addictions are hard to
  break. Dont try to play the guilt trip card with
  them. Continue to encourage them to quit, and
  offer them rewards when they make progress. Its
  critical to understand that people arent
  perfect, especially when they are dealing with an
  addiction.

Enlist Others

• This tip assumes that the person wont mind if
  you tell their parents, friends or other
  relatives. The person will eventually realize
  that there are so many people on their side.
  People are rooting for them to quit and get their
  life in order. A strong support network truly
  means a lot to someone fighting an addiction.
  Sometimes they need more motivation than what
  they can muster inside.

6
Provide Distractions

• Habits sometimes form because people experience
  boredom. Instead of chewing tobacco, you could
  introduce your loved one to chewing gum. The gum
  will keep their mouths busy so that they dont
  feel like they need tobacco. You could also try
  getting your loved one involved in an exercise
  program. The exercise will help your loved one
  deal with the stress they will face as they try
  to quit.

7

• Your loved one will be able to quit chewing
  tobacco as long as they have your support. Dont
  forget to encourage other people in their life to
  support them as well. A large network of support
  will change their life forever as they make
  progress toward their goal of quitting chewing
  tobacco.
