12. Quit Smoking Tips

Here are some useful tips which could help in your endeavor to quit smoking: Have faith in yourself. Believe that you can live without tobacco. To encourage yourself, recall the hardest things that you have done in life and realize that quitting cigarettes is no big deal for you.

Get support from your family and friends. Ask them to be helpful and tolerant. Tell them that you might be irritable and maybe irrational as well, explaining to them the reasons for the change in your behavior.

Throw away all your cigarettes.

Write down all the reasons why you want to give up smoking.

Examples;

for the sake of your health or your family’s health,

to save money,

to live longer,

you do not want to smell bad,

to protect the environment.

Keep the list of your reasons with you. Read it every time you get a craving for a cigarette.
