How to quit smoking?
.
🧐 First of all, ask yourself how smoking affects your life and why you are considering quitting. Think about the situations in which you reach for a cigarette and how you can change this. Try to find other ways to de-stress than tobacco.
📆 The next step is to define a specific date that will mark the day of your final day to part with a cigarette. This will ensure that you don't put off your resolution for days to come, but actually start your challenge.
👨👩👧👦 Please ask people close to you for support. It's very important that the people around you know what you're going through, so that when times get weaker they can motivate you to keep going. You can also use the option to share information about the progress of your treatment on social media.
🚬 Remove anything that reminds you of your addiction - lighter, ashtray. It's best to avoid meeting people who smoke for a while. This will help you to stop yourself from reaching for a cigarette - you simply won't be tempted.
🍬 Find cigarette substitutes such as chewing gum or candy. In the first few days after quitting tobacco, you may find this very useful. You will have a reflex to reach for a cigarette, so it is worth occupying your hands and mouth with something else.
🥳 Celebrate every small victory. It would be a good idea to create a ‘piggy bank’ into which you can put all the money you save on cigarettes, or to keep an eye on your virtual piggy bank, which you can find in our app.
