Quit Smoking Successfully

5 Tips to Quit Smoking
With the new photos on cigarette packets showing the scary
results of smoking in gory detail we might see a new wave of
people seeking to cut down or give up smoking
Maybe the term ‘give up’ should be changed to something that
shows the health, better looks and cashed up abundance that’s
more likely when you’re not sucking on the monoxide sticks
I’m a sympathiser Everyone needs a vice perhaps Maybe just not
one so relentless in transforming a cool good looking rebel to
someone’s old out of breath relative That’s not sexy or
interesting
I like the concept of baby steps – gradually minimising the
addiction until you only need a little instead of a lot
As anyone who smokes or has ever smoked knows, smoking is
extremely addictive Besides having to deal with the physical
addiction to nicotine, smokers also have to deal with a social
component: unlike most other additive drugs, smoking is entirely
legal and in many cases socially acceptable
Quitting smoking is difficult, and requires persistence and
willpower Here are 5 tips to quit smoking
1Prepare Yourself
Many attempts to quit smoking fail because people don’t
adequately prepare themselves for the task at hand
You will be undertaking a major change in your lifestyle and
habits, and you have to be ready for it
To ensure a batter chance at success, you have to be ready to
quit smoking
You have to reach a point where you truly and deeply want to
quit – if you are at hesitant about the idea there’s a good
chance your attempt to quit will fail
Before you actually attempt to stop smoking, try and make as
many changes to your smoking habits as possible Much of the
addiction to smoking has to do with routines and habits, so even
small changes can make a big difference when trying to break the
habit
* Try things like switching to a brand of cigarettes you don’t
particularly like
* Change the times of day that you smoke, or smoke with your
other hand
* Make a rule for yourself that you can’t do anything else -
read, use the computer – while you are smoking
This will make you much more aware of what exactly you are doing
when you smoke, which is easy to avoid if you incorporate
smoking into other activates you enjoy
Basically, you should be trying to truly mess up your smoking
habits as preparation before you quit smoking
By taking steps to try and make the experience stranger, you
replicate how a non-smoker feels Remember there was a time in
your life when you didn’t smoke, and the act of smoking seemed
strange and uncomfortable
