7 Easy Steps To Quit Smoking Within Short Time

Here are the 7 easy steps to Quit Smoking :-

 

First Make A Plan To Quit Smoking  :-

Make a promise, set a date and stick to it. Sticking to the "not a drag" rule can really help. Whenever you find yourself in difficulty say to yourself, "I will not have even a single drag" and stick with this until the cravings pass.
Think ahead to times where it might be difficult – a party for instance – and plan your actions and escape routes in advance.

Positive Thinking :-

Remember that you’re not giving up anything because cigarettes do absolutely nothing for you at all. They provide you with no genuine pleasure or crutch, they simply keep you addicted – a slave to nicotine. Get it clearly into your mind: you are losing nothing and you are making marvelous positive gains not only in health, energy and money but also in confidence, self-respect, freedom and, most important of all, in the length and quality of your future life. You’re going to enjoy being a non-smoker right from the moment you put out your last cigarette.

Change Your Drink :-

The same study as above also looked at drinks. Fizzy drinks, alcohol, cola, tea and coffee all make cigarettes taste better. So when you're out, drink more water and juice.
Some people find simply changing their drink (for example, switching from wine to a vodka and tomato juice) affects their need to reach for a cigarette.

Put all the money you’re saving on cigarettes in a large glass jar :-

You want to physically see how much you’ve been spending.Then put the money which your are sending on cigarettes in a large glass jar. See how much money your wasting in a month to spoil your health .

Think about it; don’t try to “not to think” about smoking – it doesn’t work :-

Don’t try to “not to think about” smoking – it doesn’t work. If I say: “Don’t think about a brick wall, what are you thinking about? Just make sure that whenever you are thinking about it, you’re not thinking: “I want a cigarette but I can’t have one” but instead: “Isn’t is marvelous: I don’t need to smoke anymore and I don’t want to smoke anymore. Yippee, I’m a non-smoker!” Then you can think about it all you like and you’ll still be happy.

Lean On Your Loved Ones :-

Tell your friends, family, and other people you’re close to that you’re trying to quit. They can encourage you to keep going, especially when you’re tempted to light up. You can also join a support group or talk to a counselor. Behavioral therapy is a type of counseling that helps you identify and stick to quit-smoking strategies. Even a few sessions may help.

Get Moving :-

Being active can curb nicotine cravings and ease some withdrawal symptoms. When you want to reach for a cigarette, put on your inline skates or jogging shoes instead. Even mild exercise helps, such as walking your dog or pulling weeds in the garden. The calories you burn will also ward off weight gain as you quit smoking.

Keep your hands and mouth busy :-

Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) can double your chances of success.As well as patches, there are tablets, lozenges, gum and a nasal spray. And if you like holding a cigarette, there are handheld products like the inhalator. There are also e-cigarettes.
When you're out, try putting your drink in the hand that usually holds a cigarette, or drink from a straw to keep your mouth busy
