　　 Sample Letter

　　 Dear Li Xiaolei,

　　 I am sorry you have had so much trouble to stop smoking, but I am

　　 glad you are still trying. I hope the tips below will help you.

　　 First of all, don't give up. The more often you try the more likely you are to eventually succeed.

　　 When you feel irritable, don't automatically reach for a cigarette to makeyou feel better. Take a few moments to relax. Start by breathing deeply

　　 and lifting your arms out to the side and over your head.

　　 It is a good idea to drink lots of water and eat lots of fruit when you

　　 are quitting smoking. This will help to remove the nicotine from your

　　 body faster and you won't feel so sick.

　　 It is normal to feel a little stressed when you first give up smoking, but try to remember that it will only last a few days and then you will

　　 begin to feel much better.

　　 Keep up the good work, Li Xiaolei ,and remind yourself how much healthier you will be when you finally quit.

　　 Good luck and best wishes,

　　 Sun Gao
