🧭 Preparation & choosing a spouse · #129

I want to stop smoking or vaping before I marry. How do I start?

Set a clear quit date before the akad, and get help, because you do not need to struggle alone. This decision is a gift to your future spouse and your children later, because cigarette smoke also harms the people around you. Many government health clinics run quit-smoking services that offer advice and treatment. Identify when your cravings are strongest, for example after meals or when stressed, and prepare a substitute, such as a short walk or drinking water. Tell your future spouse about this effort so they support you rather than police you. If you slip, do not give up; start again the next day. See a future spouse's view on smoking.
