Quitting smoking is not that difficult if you are determined to stop. Here are different ways to quit smoking.
Keep in mind the benefits of quitting
Exercise
Read success stories
Everyday several people quit smoking and many people among them write their success stories. Read them. It will help in motivating yourself to quit smoking.
Tell people
Tell people around you that you’re planning to quit. They’ll surely encourage you. Spreading the word will also have a positive impact on others trying to quit.
Keep a money box
You can save all the money you spend on cigarette packets, everyday. Keep the change in a box. Each time you remove money from your pocket to buy that one cigarette, don’t buy it, instead put that money in a box. Save or donate to a charity of your choice.
Throw your ashtray and lighter
Throw everything that reminds you of smoking – your ashtray, lighter and even cigarettes that you bought before quitting.
Reward yourself
Once you have successfully completed a week or a month of smoking – reward yourself. Not with a cigarette, but something else. For instance, reward yourself with a cheesecake, that one blueberry cheesecake that you were wanting to have since months but didn’t get time for it. Purchase it with the money that you saved from quitting.
Try drugs that can help you quit
There are several prescribed drugs available at various pharmacies that can help you quit smoking. But don’t forget to visit a doctor before you do.
Cut down on alcohol too
Alcohol is generally preferred with a smoke. So stay away from both.
