health How Can I Quit Smoking?

[Bigreddot]

Just like the rest, quitting did not come easy for me. I tried quitting several times but failed. I was only able to kick the habit by:

1) Having a strong will to quit by defining a goal e.a., achieving a milestone in a sport i am interested in, etc. 

2) Avoiding situations where i would be exposed to cigarette smoke because even just seeing people smoke (not even smelling smoke) made me salivate and crave. I used to associate myself with smokers so i avoided them in the beginning. I also used to smoke when im drinking so i avoided drinking initially. 

3) I kept reminding myself that there is no benefit in smoking and instead, I am slowly killing myself with a poison. 

4) Never entertain the thought that you can handle having just a few puff just to satisfy the craving. Smoking is an addiction. Remind yourself of the accomplishment you have already achieved by quitting everytime you are tempted to smoke. It only takes one puff and you will be back to the same old habbit you are trying to quit from. 

Quitting is difficult but it is doable.

Just know that if you don’t quit, you will develop COPD and will affect your quality of life.

Set a date, prepare replacements for whenever the urge comes eg: gum. Expect intense cravings for the first week. Just stick with your commitment. The urges decreases after a month. If you relapse it’s ok. Just try to get a longer streak w/o smoking the next time.

Smoke with a purpose.

Smoke when you are with your officemates/colleagues/business partners/old friends/new acquaintance.

Do not smoke when you're alone. Just drink black coffee or tea instead of smoking. Choose a better alternative.

Yun lang
