The title of an art poster that was part of a contest.
The photo of the art can be found at the following link:
http://poiskdetei.ru/v-moskve-proshel-festival-socialnoj-rek...
It is the bottom photo, which shows a wine bottle tied in a knot, cigarette tied in a knot and a syringe.
What I need help with is coming up with a catchy title for this art poster. Thanks for your help in advance.

Russian term (edited):
"Завязывай"
"Kick it!"
That's what you do with a bad habit. I am not sure there is a way to say it that would involve the "knot" connotation...

PS. Why is the field for this "Social Sciences - Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc. / child welfare"?.. Seems like it should be something like "Colloquial, Idioms" etc.

Put a Lid On It!
As a possible option or just 'Quit It!'

"strung out?" or, "the tourniquet"
I' m not sure either of these has the ring of "Quit now!" but perhaps, used in combination with something else, one would give the sense of "tying off" or stopping the flow embodied in the picture.
Example sentence:
Strung out? Get help.
Something went wrong...
