Get python to end the program in an if statement

I am creating a game style program and are looking for a command that will just end the program at a certain point. There are no syntax errors and it all correctly indented in the idle.

I want this command to execute after the 'YOU DIED GAME OVER' bit of the if statment. I tried to look for anything online but i couldn't find any hints. Code below

buy2a = input ('Type Y to drink the strange liquid and type N not to')
if buy2a == 'Y' or buy2a == 'y':
    chance2a = 2 #random.randint(1,4)
    if chance2a == '2' or chance2a == '4' :
      print ('You start to choke and you black out')
      print ('YOU DIED')
      print ('GAME OVER')
      # >Thing im looking for goes here!<#
else :
    print ('You feel strange')
    time.sleep(1)
    print ('You blackout but wake up several hours later')
    time.sleep(1)
    health = 20
    print ('You feel a lot better and now have ' + str(health) + ' health')

else :
    print ('You pass on the offer with a weak reason and head off in a hurry')
print ('You enter the next town on weiry feet')

You can also raise the exception directly

raise SystemExit()

Built-in exit() function will work. Another option is to use sys.exit.

Both sys.exit and exit raise the same exception SystemExit. The difference is in convenience: you need to import sys module every time you want to use sys.exit and exit is the part of site module that's imported during the initialization.

Use (this is standard practice for exiting):

import sys  # At the start of file.
sys.exit()  # When you want to exit.
