Question

which strategy helps a person stop smoking?
○ setting a budget for cigarettes
○ getting medicine
○ keeping the same personal behaviors
○ maintaining an old social routine

Explanation:

• Setting a budget for cigarettes (first option) doesn't help stop smoking as it still allows purchasing cigarettes.
• Getting medicine (second option) is a valid strategy as medications like nicotine replacement therapies or prescription drugs can assist in managing withdrawal symptoms and reducing cravings, aiding in smoking cessation.
• Keeping the same personal behaviors (third option) is unhelpful because old behaviors (like smoking triggers) need to change to stop smoking.
• Maintaining an old social routine (fourth option) is also unhelpful as social routines might include smoking triggers (e.g., smoking with friends at certain times/places).

Answer:

B. getting medicine
