Before you quit: |
 |
Select a date and stick to it. |
 |
Tell everyone you are going to quit. |
 |
Put off having your first cigarette of the day,
and add more time putting it off each day. |
 |
Don't carry cigaretts with you, make them inconvenient to use. |
 |
Make a list of all the reasons you want to quit. |
 |
Deep clean your house and car. |
 |
Eat more fruit |
 |
Exercise |
 |
Make friends with an ex-smoker. |
 |
Sit in the non-smoking areas of establishments. |
 |
Practice stress management. |
 |
Create a "survival kit" that includes gum, hard candy, cinnamon sticks, toothpicks, strasw. pretzels, fruit, sunflower seeds, vegetable sticks, aspirin, tissue4s, a list of reason why you want to quit, and a picture of loved ones. |
There is absolutely nothing to give up
there is no genuine pleasure or crutch in smoking. It is just an illusion, like banging your head against a wall to make it pleasant when you stop. |
