Good afternoon,
Today SAMHSA released the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) Results Detailing Mental Illness and Substance Use Levels in 2021. This shows how people living in America reported about their experience with mental health conditions, substance use, and pursuit of treatment in 2021. The 2021 NSDUH national report includes selected estimates by race, ethnicity, and age group. It is the most comprehensive report on substance use and mental health indicators that SAMHSA has released to date.
The link to the report can be found here.
Key findings include:
Drug Use and Substance Use Disorder
• Among people aged 12 or older in 2021, 61.2 million people (or 21.9 percent of the population) used illicit drugs in the past year. The most commonly used illicit drug was marijuana, which 52.5 million people used. Nearly 2 in 5 young adults 18 to 25 used illicit drugs in the past year; 1 in 3 young adults 18 to 25 used marijuana in the past year.
• 9.2 million people 12 and older misused opioids in the past year.
• 46.3 million people aged 12 or older (or 16.5 percent of the population) met the applicable DSM-5 criteria for having a substance use disorder in the past year, including 29.5 million people who were classified as having an alcohol use disorder and 24 million people who were classified as having a drug use disorder.
• The percentage of people who were classified as having a past year substance use disorder, including alcohol use and/or drug use disorder, was highest among young adults aged 18 to 25 compared to youth and adults 26 and older.
• In 2021, 94% of people aged 12 or older with a substance use disorder did not receive any treatment. Nearly all people with a substance use disorder who did not get treatment at a specialty facility did not think they needed treatment.
Major Depressive Episodes (MDE) Among Adolescents
• In 2021, 1 in 5 adolescents had a major depressive episode in the past year. Of these, nearly 75 percent had symptoms consistent with severe impairment, which caused severe problems with their ability to do chores at home, do well at work or school, get along with their family, or have a social life.
• The prevalence of past year MDE among Black and Asian adolescents was lower compared to adolescents from most other racial/ethnic groups.
• More than half of youth with an MDE did not receive treatment in the past year.
Mental Illness among Adults
• Nearly 1 in 4 adults 18 and older, and 1 in 3 among adults aged 18 to 25, had a mental illness in the past year.
• Adults with serious mental illness had higher rates of treatment compared to those with any mental illness. Despite having the highest rate of serious mental illness, people aged 18 to 25 had the lowest rate of treatment in comparison to adults in other age groups.
• White and Multiracial adults were more likely to receive mental health services in the past year than Black, Hispanic or Latino, or Asian adults.
Co-Occurring Substance Use Disorder with Any Mental Illness
• 13.5 percent of young adults aged 18 to 25 had both a substance use disorder and any mental illness in the past year.
• Nearly 1 in 3 adults had either a substance use disorder or any mental illness in the past year, and 46 percent of young adults 18-25 had either a substance use disorder or any mental illness.
• The percentage of adults aged 18 or older who met criteria for both a mental illness and a substance use disorder in the past year was higher among Multiracial adults than among White, Black, Hispanic or Latino, or Asian adults. Asian adults were less likely to have had both AMI and a substance use disorder in the past year compared with adults in most other racial or ethnic groups.
Serious Thoughts of Suicide, Suicide Plans, and Suicide Attempts
• 12.3 million adults aged 18 or older had serious thoughts of suicide in the past year, 3.5 million made suicide plans, and 1.7 million attempted suicide.
• Hispanic or Latino adults were more likely than White or Asian adults to have attempted suicide in the past year, and Black adults were more likely than Asian adults to have attempted suicide in the past year.
Recovery
• 7 in 10 (72.2 percent or 20.9 million) adults who ever had a substance use problem considered themselves to be recovering or in recovery.
• 2 in 3 (66.5 percent or 38.8 million) adults who ever had a mental health issue considered themselves to be recovering or in recovery.

This holiday season, many individuals will be gifted a connected or Internet of Things (IoT) device – such as a smart TV, camera, home security system, gaming system, smartphone, tablet, or one of many household items that have become internet-capable in the last several years, such as doorbells, thermostats, coffee pots, refrigerators, toaster ovens, and even meat thermometers. Many of these devices lend a level of convenience to users by making controls available on the go via a smartphone app or website. While convenient, connected devices also transmit and store data and could be exploited by cyber threat actors to compromise networks, devices, or accounts. Compromised connected devices, combined with vulnerable home routers, increase the risk of cybercriminal activity and cyberattacks. Additionally, devices routinely connected to a home network can have further implications when subsequently connected to corporate networks and may introduce additional vulnerabilities and risks. Therefore, it is vital for users to employ cybersecurity best practices for the new gadgets they receive this holiday season and ensure devices and networks currently in use are properly secured.

The following was prepared for the January Borough Bulletin. Due to the events of last night, we are releasing the information early. Please see below.
Unfortunately, holiday cheer often coincides with an uptick in residential burglaries. Perpetrators almost always commit this crime when a home is unoccupied. Therefore, holiday schedules with homeowners leaving for social gatherings or vacations provide the perfect opportunity for unwelcome visitors. Here are some helpful hints and strategies to both recognize and avoid this crime:
1) Make your home look occupied even if you are not really there! Put lights on timers and leave a radio or television on. If you go away, do not let mail or newspapers accumulate. A home with a dark interior and five newspapers in the driveway does not fool anyone.
2 ) Alarms do not notify us if they are not activated! Always activate your alarm, even if you are just going out for a short time. The most recent burglary in Bergen County took place shortly after the homeowners left for dinner.
3) It is tempting to turn off the constant notifications from your Ring camera…..please remain strong. Ring cameras provide useful information and/or evidence for numerous crimes including burglary. The front and rear doors of a home are a common point of forcible entry and “real time” footage as an event is happening is valuable for not only an investigation, but for the safety of the responding officers.
4) Be aware of your surroundings and trust your instincts. If you see something that “feels wrong” at your neighbor’s house or on your block, do not doubt yourself! Call the police immediately. Numerous crimes are solved by the actions of a “concerned citizen”. Examples of suspicious activity include but are not limited to a vehicle idling in a cul-de-sac, individuals emerging from a parked vehicle and walking through the woods, individuals that approach a home and then spit up (front and back), and any observation that makes you feel suspicious.
5) Master bedrooms and bathrooms are often the primary target for a burglar. Consider keeping valuables hidden in other areas of the house.
Please call the Upper Saddle River Police Department with any questions or concerns. We all wish you a safe holiday season and a healthy new year.

Last night, between the hours 6PM-730PM, two residential burglaries and one attempted burglary occurred on the following borough streets : Deerfield Lane, Anona Drive, and Fawn Hill Road. All effected homes were unoccupied at the times of the incidents. The investigation into these incidents is ongoing. We are requesting anyone with information or surveillance footage (“Ring”) to please contact the Upper Saddle River Police Department. ... See MoreSee Less

STORM WATCH
O&R PREPS TO REPAIR DAMAGE AS HEAVY RAIN, HIGH WINDS THREATEN REGION
PEARL RIVER, NY Dec. 20, 2022 3:00 p.m. --- Orange & Rockland is preparing to mobilize its emergency response workforce to repair possible storm damage and restore resulting electric service outages from a major storm system that could soak the region with as much as 2.5 inches of rain and pummel the area with winds gusting 40 mph to 55 mph from Thursday night through Friday.
O&R company and contractor overhead line crews and tree removal experts, customer service operations and the other O&R emergency response teams will be activated and deployed Thursday evening. O&R also will double the size of the company’s field workforce for this event by obtaining overhead line mutual aid workers.
O&R Warns
For safety’s sake, O&R warns the public not to touch or approach any downed wire. Assume it is energized and dangerous. Call O&R immediately toll-free 1-877-434-4100. Depending on the situation, you may also consider calling your local police to divert traffic from the downed wire’s location until an O&R crew arrives.
Weather Forecast
• Strong gusty winds are becoming likely midnight Friday through 8 p.m. across the region, with the highest gusts closer to the coast.
• Showers are expected to move into the area Thursday night, falling moderately to heavily at times from about midnight Friday until around 6 a.m. and again later Friday from 11 a.m. through 5 p.m.
• Embedded thunderstorms are becoming likely along the cold front from 11 a.m. through 5 p.m. Friday with a low chance for isolated severe thunderstorms during this timeframe. By definition severe thunderstorms contain wind gusts greater than 57 mph, hail larger than 1 inch or tornadoes
• Rain is expected to taper off from west to east after 5 p.m. Friday as the cold front exits the area.
• Temperatures will quickly fall from the upper 50s to the upper teens and 20s behind the cold front Friday evening.
• Lingering winds gusting 35 mph through 45 mph will continue in the wake of this front as cold air pours in.
• The coldest airmass of the season so far is expected Saturday, Sunday and Monday with highs struggling to get out of the 20s.
How to Report an Outage
If customers experience a power outage, they shouldn’t assume that O&R automatically knows about it. They can report it and check to see when their lights will be back on through:
• At www.oru.com/ReportOutage from any computer or web-based mobile device.
• O&R mobile app from your iPhone, iPad or Android device --- download via Apple Store or Google Play.
• Text messaging by texting “OUT” to 69678 (myORU) or
• Call 1-877-434-4100.
For the latest information about power outages, please view O&R’s Outage Map.
For a brief video that provides a step-by-step guide to the Outage Map’s basic operation:
• In English
• In Spanish
Restoring Service
Once the weather clears enough to safely assess damage and begin electric service restoration, O&R crews will give priority to clearing downed wires blocking roads and making repairs to critical and emergency facilities (police and fire stations, and hospitals, for example) and to those locations where the repair will provide power to the largest number of customers as quickly as possible. Then, crews will restore smaller outages and individual customers’ outages.
Important Safety Tips
• For safety’s sake, don’t touch or approach any downed wire. Assume it is energized and dangerous. Call O&R immediately toll-free 1-877-434-4100. Depending on the situation, you may also want to call your local police to divert traffic until an O&R crew arrives.
• Maintain a distance of at least 50 feet from downed wires and anything they are in contact with including puddles of water and fences. Supervise your children so that they are not in the vicinity and keep pets on a leash or otherwise secure.
• If a fallen wire is draped over a car, do not approach the car and make rescue attempts. Remain a safe distance away and try to keep the occupant of the vehicle calm. If possible, emergency personnel should handle the situation.
• Pole-top transformers --- those small grey-colored metal drums attached to the wires at the tops of most utility poles --- also should be avoided when they have been knocked to the ground.
• Portable generators pose a serious hazard if used improperly. They should be used and installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. A wrong connection could feed electricity back through the lines and endanger our repair crews. Never plug a generator into a wall unit, use it indoors or set it up outdoors near open home windows or air-handling vents.
• Have emergency equipment within reach --- portable radio, flashlights, spare batteries, first aid kit, cell phone and important medications. Keep O&R’s toll-free number 1-877-434-4100 near the phone to report power outages.
• Remember: if the base station of your cordless phone plugs into the wall, your phone will be unusable during a power outage.

STORM WATCH
O&R PREPS TO REPAIR STORM DAMAGE AS HEAVY SNOW THREATENS REGION
PEARL RIVER, NY Dec. 14, 2022 3:45 p.m. --- Orange & Rockland is preparing to mobilize its emergency response workforce to repair possible storm damage and restore electric service outages from a strong storm that could dump as much as 8 inches of snow in some areas from mid-afternoon Thursday into Friday.
O&R company and contractor overhead line crews and tree removal experts, customer service operations and the other O&R emergency response teams will be activated and deployed early Thursday evening. They will be joined by 50 mutual aid overhead line contractors.
O&R Warns
For safety’s sake, O&R warns the public not to touch or approach any downed wire. Assume it is energized and dangerous. Call O&R immediately toll-free 1-877-434-4100. Depending on the situation, you may also consider calling your local police to divert traffic from the downed wire’s location until an O&R crew arrives.
Weather Forecast
• The western and central parts of O&R’s service area are due to see 3 inches to 8 inches of heavy, wet snow from approximately 3 p.m. Thursday through 6 a.m. Friday. Then, a wintry mix is predicted to fall there until about 5 p.m. Friday.
• The eastern portion of O&R’s service area could see up to 3 inches of wet snow from around 3 p.m. Thursday through around midnight into Friday morning. Then, all rain is due until about 5 p.m. Friday.
• In addition, winds will be breezy and highest closer to the coast, with gusts of 25 mph to 35 mph from just after midnight Friday until about noon.
How to Report an Outage
If you experience a power outage, don’t assume that O&R automatically knows about it. You can report it and check to see when your lights will be back on through:
• At www.oru.com/ReportOutage from any computer or web-based mobile device.

Learn to Spot and Stop Utility Scams
PSE&G shares how customers can protect themselves against scammers
(NEWARK, N.J. – November 14, 2022) Scammers continue to impersonate PSE&G representatives and take advantage of unsuspecting victims. PSE&G urges customers to understand scammers’ tactics and know what to do if confronted with a request for private account information or a demand for immediate payment. If customers are ever in doubt about the legitimacy of a contact from PSE&G, they should call PSE&G at 800-436-PSEG (7734).
Utilities United Against Scams (UUAS) is supporting International Fraud Awareness Week, and will recognize the seventh annual Utility Scam Awareness Day on Wednesday, November 16. Utility Scam Awareness Day was designated to raise awareness, educate customers, and expose the tactics used by scammers.
“Protecting our customers is a top priority. It is critically important we continue to raise awareness and educate customers about how to spot and stop potential scams,” said David Johnson, PSE&G chief customer officer and vice president of Customer Care. “Scammers continue to adapt and develop increasingly sophisticated tactics to take advantage of our customers.”
According to information provided to PSE&G by its customers in 2022 - roughly 1,000 customers reported they were a victim of a utility scam or scam attempt.
Scammer tactics are becoming increasingly sophisticated, but utility impostor scams are oftentimes as simple as a scammer posing as a customer’s local utility representative in person or over the phone.
“Customers shouldn’t be afraid to end the interaction if they suspect it is a scam. You can always call PSE&G to confirm,” said Johnson. “Customers will always receive prior notification of past-due balances on their PSE&G bill, and by mail, email or phone, before the possibility of service disconnection. We also work hard to educate about the options available to help them pay their bill.”
PSE&G urges customers to learn how to spot and stop potential utility scam activity.
Signs of potential utility scam activity:
• Threat to disconnect: Scammers may aggressively tell the customer their utility bill is past due and service will be disconnected if a payment is not made — usually within an hour.
• Request for immediate payment: Scammers may instruct the customer to purchase a prepaid card, a gift card or even Bitcoin, and then to call them back to make a phone payment. They may request that the customer use a payment app to make an online payment, or even give instructions for an in-person meeting. Many times, after the customer makes the first payment, the scammer will call back to ask for the payment to be resubmitted due to an error with the amount. The scammer refers to a new amount and claims that the original payment will be refunded.
• Request for card information: If a customer calls back with requested information, the scammer asks the customer for the prepaid card’s number or gift-card PIN, which grants the scammer instant access to the card’s funds, and the victim’s money is gone.
• In person-demands: Scammers may arrive at a home or business, flash a fake ID and/or claim to be a utility collection representative. The impostors may wear “uniforms” or affix false company signs to their vehicles. The scammers generally ask for personal information or offer discounts, which a real PSE&G representative would not do.
Protect yourself against utility scams:
• Be alert to the telltale sign of a scam: someone asking by telephone or email for payment in pre-paid debit cards or fund transfer app, or to send money to an out-of-state address.
• Never arrange payment or provide account or personal information, including Social Security numbers or debit/credit card information, in person or over the telephone unless you are certain you are speaking to a PSE&G representative.
• Customers should also know what PSE&G will and won’t discuss over the phone. A genuine PSE&G representative will ask to speak to the “Customer of Record.” If that person is available, the representative will explain why they are calling and provide the account name, address and current balance. If the person on the phone does not provide the correct information, it is likely the customer is not speaking with a PSE&G representative.
• If the “Customer of Record” is not available, the PSE&G representative will not discuss the account at all and ask that a message be left for the “Customer of Record” to call 1-800-357-2262.
• If customers have doubts about the legitimacy of a call or an email — especially one in which payment is requested — they should call PSE&G directly at 1-800-436-PSEG (7734).

How to identify a PSE&G employee in your neighborhood:
• Typically, any employee working in your neighborhood will be in a vehicle that displays the PSE&G logo. In some cases, meter readers and contractors working on behalf of PSE&G may drive their personal cars.
• All employees are required to wear company-issued identification badges around their neck or on their belt. They should introduce themselves as a way to establish their identity.
• If you feel uneasy in a situation, ask them to wait outside and call PSE&G directly at 1-800-436-PSEG (7734) to verify if someone from PSE&G is in your area.
Why a PSE&G employee or contractor might show up “unexpectedly”:
There are several situations when a PSE&G employee or contractor may show up unexpectedly, including to:
• Read or replace meters.
• Investigate a suspicious odor or gas leak.
• Complete field inspections of infrastructure.
• Attend to a customer’s high bill complaint.
• Respond to emergencies to shut off power for first responders.

*Customers are not required to report utility scam attempts or losses to PSE&G. The data provided was voluntarily reported to PSE&G by the customers who experienced the scam or scam attempt.

Good morning,
Please feel free to utilize this resource for the Great American Smokeout! Here is a fact sheet as well.
Thursday, November 17th is The Great American Smokeout®
November 17th is the Great American Smokeout® (GASO), an annual event for more than 40 years sponsored by The American Cancer Society. The Great American Smokeout® is held on the Thursday before Thanksgiving that encourages smokers to quit tobacco smoking and/or vaping by making a plan to quit, or plan in advance and initiate a smoking cessation plan on this special day. Individuals are challenged to quit smoking/vaping for at least 24 hours as a first step in their quit journey, and helps them learn about the many tools they can use to help them quit and stay quit. A smokefree life is possible and there has never been a better time to try quitting than right now.
The idea for the Great American Smokeout® grew out of a 1971 event in Randolph, Massachusetts in which Arthur P. Mullaney asked people to give up cigarettes for a day and donate the money that would have spent on cigarettes to a high school scholarship fund. In 1974, Lynn R. Smith, editor of the Monticello Times in Minnesota, spearheaded the state’s first D-Day, or Don’t Smoke Day. The idea caught on, and on November 18, 1976, the California Division of the American Cancer Society succeeded in getting nearly one million smokers to quit for the day. That California event marked the first Great American Smokeout, which went nationwide in 1977.
Cigarette smoking harms nearly every organ of the body, causing many diseases. Cigarette smoking remains the leading preventable cause of disease and death in the United States. An estimated 30.8 million Americans smoke cigarettes, and more than 480,000 people die from a smoking-related illness each year, meaning smoking causes about 1 in 5 deaths in the United States. While these numbers seem daunting, there are free tools, resources, and support to help a smoker succeed. The Great American Smokeout® is more than a reminder of the dangers smoking poses to an individual’s health. It’s a call to act. No matter an individual’s age, or how long they’ve been smoking, quitting improves health both immediately and over the long term. It’s never too late to quit smoking. Quitting smoking improves an individual’s health and reduces their risk of heart disease, cancer, lung disease, and other illnesses.
Like many individuals who smoke, some may have thought about quitting. They may have found themselves coughing more than usual or found it harder to breathe. They probably thought, “I have to stop smoking, now!” They may have even tried once or twice before—only to find themselves smoking again. The Great American Smokeout® is an opportunity for individuals who smoke to commit to healthy, smoke -free lives – not just for a day, but year round.
Quitting smoking is not easy, and it’s not a matter of willpower. It takes commitment and starts with a plan, often takes more than one quit attempt, and requires a lot of support. Of the many chemicals found in tobacco and tobacco smoke, most smokers become addicted to one of them, nicotine, a psycho-active drug that makes quitting so hard. More people in the United States are addicted to nicotine than to any other drug. Research suggests that nicotine may be as addictive as heroin, cocaine, or alcohol. To complicate the quitting process, those smokers trying to quit who are addicted to nicotine usually experience withdrawal symptoms that may include feeling irritable, angry, or anxious, having trouble thinking, craving tobacco products, feeling hungrier than usual. Rather than wait out the proper amount of time before these withdrawal symptoms disappear, many smokers trying to quit will abandon their quitting attempt. People who stop smoking often start again because of withdrawal symptoms, stress, and weight gain.
Quitting smoking is one of the most important actions an individual can take to improve their health. After their last cigarette is smoked, their body begins a series of positive changes that continue for years. For example, within minutes of quitting smoking the heart rate decreases, and within 24 hours the nicotine level in blood drops to zero. Within 1 to 2 years after quitting smoking the risk of a heart attack drops sharply. After 3 to 6 years, the added risk of coronary heart disease drops by half. After 10 years, the added risk of lung cancer drops by half. And after 15 years, the risk of coronary heart disease drops to close to that of someone who has never smoked.
Quitting smoking can also lessen or delay loss of lung function and slow down the progress of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). For those individuals who already have heart disease, quitting can lower their risk of dying prematurely, getting a new type of heart disease, or having a new or repeat heart attack.
For women who are pregnant, quitting as early as possible can help protect against some health problems for their developing babies, such as being born too small or too early.
To have the best chance of quitting and remaining smokefree, it’s best for individuals to know what to expect, what their options are, what tools and quit-smoking medications are available to them, and where to go for help. Quitting smoking is a journey. It can be hard, but it is possible, and a smoker can increase their chances of success with a good plan and support.
Here are five steps to improve success in quitting smoking:
1. Set a date. Choose The Great American Smokeout® or another day within the next 2 weeks.
2. Smokers should tell family and friends about their quit plan. They should share their quit date with the important people in their life and ask them for their support. A daily phone call, email, or text message can help an individual stay on course and provide the support they need.
3. Be prepared for challenges. The urge to smoke is short—usually only 3 to 5 minutes—but those moments can feel intense. Even one puff can feed a craving and make it feel stronger. Before an individual’s quit day, they should make a list of healthy ways to cope.
a. Adopt a positive attitude. Visualize living your best smokefree life.
b. Stay busy. Get up and move around. Exercise. Think about how you can change your routine.
c. Drink lots of water, slowly sip-by-sip. Drink less alcohol or avoid it completely.
d. Avoid situations where the urge to smoke is strong.
e. Listen to your favorite songs, play a game, dive into a hobby of yours.
f. Call or text a friend.
g. Get coaching by attending a quit smoking class, call a quitline, or sign up for text message support.
h. Start using FDA-approved quit-smoking medicines.
4. Remove cigarettes and other tobacco from the home, car, and workplace. Throw away cigarettes, matches, lighters, and ashtrays. Clean and freshen the car, home, and workplace. Old cigarette odors can cause cravings.
5. Smokers should talk to their pharmacist, doctor, or quitline coach about quit options. Nicotine patches, gum, or other approved, quit-smoking medicines can help.
Trying to quit smoking feels different for each person, but almost everyone will have some symptoms of nicotine withdrawal. When an individual stops, their body and brain have to get used to not having nicotine. This can be uncomfortable, but nicotine withdrawal can’t hurt an individual unless they give in and have a cigarette! Over time, withdrawal symptoms will fade as long as an individual stays smokefree.
Here are 7 common withdrawal symptoms and what an individual can do about them
1. Having urges or cravings to smoke
Almost everyone who smokes regularly has cravings or urges to smoke when they quit. They may be mild or can sometimes feel overwhelming. Figuring out how to deal with cravings is one of the most important things you can do to stay successful.
Ways to manage: There are LOTS of things an individual can do to make urges and cravings less of a problem. Quit-smoking medicines can help a lot, and so can other quitting tips. Cravings can be triggered by things that make an individual think about smoking—like people you smoked with, a place you often smoked, or things you used to do while smoking like having a cup of coffee. Even a thought or a feeling can trigger a craving. But other thoughts can help you get through a craving, like remembering why you are quitting. Remember that you never have to give in to a craving, and that it will always pass.
2. Feeling irritated, grouchy, or upset
It is very common to feel irritated or grouchy when you quit. Even many people who have never smoked know this is part of quitting. Knowing this is normal can be helpful.
Ways to manage: Remind yourself that you likely feel this way because your body is getting used to being without nicotine. Take a few deep breaths and remind yourself why you’re quitting.
3. Feeling jumpy and restless
Feeling jumpy or restless during the first days or weeks after quitting is normal. Just like your mind gets irritated without nicotine at first, the rest of your body can, too.
Ways to manage: Doing some physical activity can help shake loose your jumpiness. Get up and walk around for a bit if you feel restless. Try cutting back on coffee, tea, and other caffeinated drinks. When you quit smoking, caffeine lasts longer in your body.
4. Having a hard time concentrating
You may notice that it is harder to concentrate in the first days after you quit—this is very common.
Ways to manage: Try to cut yourself some slack, especially in the first days after you quit. Try to limit activities that require strong concentration if you can.
5. Having trouble sleeping
It’s common to have some trouble sleeping when you first quit smoking. This will get better, but if it is bothering you, talk with your healthcare provider to get help. If you become exhausted from poor sleep, this can make it harder to stay quit.
Ways to manage:
· If you drink coffee, tea, or other caffeinated drinks regularly, don’t drink them in the late afternoon or evening. When you quit smoking, caffeine lasts longer in your body.
· If you are using the nicotine patch, try taking it off an hour before bedtime. Sometimes the nicotine in the patch can affect your sleep.
· Try some of the other things that can help you get a good night’s sleep:
o Don’t watch TV or use phones, computers, or e-books in bed.
o Make sure your bedroom is quiet, dark, relaxing, and at a comfortable temperature.
o Don’t eat a heavy meal or drink alcohol right before bed.
o Add in some physical activity during the day (but not right before bed).
o Go to sleep and wake up around the same time each day, even on weekends.
6. Feeling hungrier or gaining weight
It’s normal for your appetite to increase some when you quit. And your body may not burn calories quite as fast. You may also eat more because of the stress of quitting or to have something to do with your hands and mouth. Food may even be more enjoyable because your senses of smell and taste are not being dulled by all that smoke!
Ways to manage: While some people may gain weight after they quit, it’s important for your health to quit sooner than later. Below are a few simple things you can do to help control weight gain after quitting. The bonus is that these things will help you build healthy behaviors for a lifetime of being smokefree!
· Snack smart. If you eat between meals, find some healthy, low-calorie foods that still give your mouth and hands something to do, like celery, carrots, or sugar-free mints. You can also keep your hands and mouth busy with a toothpick or a straw.
· Be active. Any physical activity is better than none. Even if you don’t want to join a gym or take up running, simply going for a walk can have real health benefits!
· When you eat, focus on eating. Eating is often something we do in the background while we watch TV or check our phones. When we eat like this, we eat more. When you quit smoking, make a point of removing distractions when you eat. Also try eating a bit slower and focus on enjoying your food. This can help you notice when you are getting full.
If you are worried about gaining weight, a quit coach can help you with other quitting tips, or you can talk with your healthcare provider for help.
7. Feeling anxious, sad, or depressed
People who smoke are more likely to have anxiety or depression than people who don’t smoke. Some people feel mood changes for a short time after they quit smoking. Watch for this, especially if you’ve ever had anxiety or depression.
For some people, smoking may seem like it helps with anxiety or depression, but don’t be tricked. Smoking might make you feel better in the short-term, but that’s because the nicotine in cigarettes stops the discomfort of withdrawal, not because it is helping with anxiety or depression. There are much better ways to deal with withdrawal symptoms and mood changes than returning to smoking! The good news is that once people have been smoke-free for a few months, their anxiety and depression levels are often lower than when they were smoking.
Ways to manage:
· Be Active. Being physically active can help lift your mood. Start small and build up over time. This can be hard to do if you’re feeling down. But your efforts will pay off.
· Structure your day. Stay busy. Get out of the house if you can.
· Connect with other people. Being in touch or talking with others every day can help your mood. Try to connect with people who are supportive of your efforts to quit smoking.
· Reward yourself. Do things you enjoy. Even small things add up and help you feel better.
· Talk with a healthcare provider. If you don’t feel better in a couple weeks, or your symptoms feel unmanageable, it’s important to contact a healthcare provider.
What if feelings of depression get worse, or don’t get better? You should get help. Talk to your healthcare provider, call the quitline (1-800-QUIT-NOW), or seek appropriate emergency help.
· Sometimes people who are feeling depressed think about hurting themselves or dying. If you or someone you know is having these feelings, get help now.
o Call or text the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
o Call 911 or go to the nearest hospital emergency department for emergency medical treatment.
o Don’t be alone. Don’t leave another person alone if he or she is in crisis.
