How do you give up your cigarettes for good and never go back to them again?
Here are a few tips from the experts:
Have a plan and set a definite quit date.
Get rid of all the cigarettes and ashtrays at home or in your desk at work.
Don’t allow others to smoke in your house.
Tell your friends and neighbors that you’re quitting. Doing so helps make quitting a matter of pride.
Chew sugarless gum or eat sugar-free hard candy to redirect the oral fixation that comes with smoking. This will prevent weight gain, too.
Eat as much as you want, but only low-calorie foods and drinks.
Drink plenty of water. This may help with the feelings of tension and restlessness that quitting can bring.
After eight weeks, you’ll lose your craving for tobacco, so it’s safe then to return to your usual eating habits.
Stay away from social situations that prompt you to smoke.
Dine in the nonsmoking section of restaurants.
Spend the money you save by not smoking on an occasional treat for yourself.
There is no way that you can slow down and stop at one point. Think... Decide now.... Start following the above steps…
