| Ways To Quit Smoking |
Question:
Looking for different ways to quit smoking.
Answer:
Heres a few ways to help you quit smoking:
Keep a list of when you smoke, what you're doing at the time, and how
bad the craving is for a week before quitting to see if specific times
of the day or activities increase your cravings, then arrange fun,
unique things to do during those times.
When your quit date arrives, throw out anything that reminds you of
smoking. That includes all smoking paraphernalia -- leftover cigarettes,
matches, lighters, ashtrays, cigarette holders, even the lighter in your
car.
Switch to a cup of herbal tea whenever you usually have a cigarette.
That might be at breakfast, midmorning, or after meals. The act of
brewing the tea and slowly sipping it as it cools will provide the same
stress relief as a hit of nicotine.
Swing by the health food store for some Avena sativa (oat) extract.
One study found that, taken at 1 milliliters four times daily, it helped
habitual tobacco smokers significantly decrease the number of cigarettes
they smoked.
