lead you to your way of success of quitting smoking.
Step One: Prepare yourself and get ready
Get a calendar and mark a specific date on which you want to quit smoking. Change
your environment and surroundings as much as possible. Remove ashtray, lighters,
cigarettes, lighter fluid, or anything else that is related to smoking. Clean the
carpets and furniture if you smoke at home to get rid of the smell. Wash and clean
your clothes to remove all tobacco odors.
List down all the reasons you can think of on why you want to quit smoking. It could
be due to your health. Make a research on all the harmful effect that smoking can
bring, and also all the benefit that you will gain by quitting smoking.
Perhaps facts and reasons such reducing your chance of getting cancer, breathe
easier, eliminate second hand smoke in your family, setting a good example as
parents , skin being more radiant, whiter teeth, eliminate tobacco odor, save lots
of money, more stamina and too many reasons and facts to state. Make sure you write
all that down.
Step Two: Gain support
Let everybody you know that you are going to quit cigarettes for good. Also get
their support by assuring that they won't smoke in front of you if any of them are
smokers. Get some advice from your doctor or physician regarding any resources or
medication to help you to quit smoking. You can also visit your dentist get your
teeth clean. Look for counseling or social support group in your local area for
quitting smoking.
Step Three: Pick up new skills and hobbies
Instead of smoking, talk a walk about the park and fill your lungs with fresh air.
Pick up new skills and hobbies that you may be interested in the past but haven't
really got the time for it. Now is the perfect time to rediscover your passion
again. It could be a sports, games or any leisure. Keep yourself maximizing your
time at all times and live life to the fullest.
Step Four: Use medication
You can use medication to help you in any sort. You can resort to nicotine
replacement therapies such as gums, patches or spray. You can also opt for
non-nicotine based treatment such as laser treatment, acupuncture, consuming herbs,
Zyban and others. Do a research on which method suits your personality, health
history and lifestyle the most.
Step Five: Be prepared to face relapse and go through difficult situations
In the process of quitting, you will face an extremely difficult and stressful time.
Unforeseen circumstances and stressful situations will be a temptation to pick the
cigarettes again. Relapse may happen after 2 to 3 months that you have quit.
Nicotine is highly addictive, thus you must be mentally strong to battle it.
Read your list of reasons why you want to quit smoking everyday if possible to
remind you of your initial purpose to quit smoking. Reinforce and reconfirm that you
are a non-smoker. If you are worried about gaining weight, avoid junk and oily food
at the moment. Exercise more. Do not be ashamed or shy to try new things. Remember
not to give up in any situation. Persist on and you will be successful.
