Important Dos and Don'ts to Quit Smoking

 

The best way to quit smoking is to know what to do and what not to do. When your determination to get rid of your bad habit for good is combined with the right strategy, you are bound to succeed. You will live a healthy and satisfactory smoke-free life.

Do learn all about the dangers of smoking and the benefits of quitting. Don't ignore your personal motives. The more you know about the problem, the more determined you will be to resolve it. Often the hardcore medical data is not sufficient to help you resist nicotine cravings, however. This is where your personal reasons come in. Think about the people you love and how much they will benefit if you do not smoke around them.

Do eliminate as many smoking triggers from your life as possible. Don't keep habits associated with smoking. Just think about the things that make you feel like lighting up and remove them, avoid them or change them. Keep in mind that the changes in your life will be for the better.

Do exercise and eat a balanced diet. Don't engage in a sedentary lifestyle and binging. Being physically active will help you resist tobacco cravings and quit smoking for good. Eat more fruits and vegetables and avoid overeating to keep to your normal weight during the cessation process.

Do sip water from a straw frequently. Don't drink alcohol and coffee. Water suppresses nicotine cravings and the drinking from a straw has a positive psychological effect on quitters. Liquor and caffeine have the opposite effect so they should be avoided until the habit is eliminated for good.

Do engage in social activities. Don't hang out with smokers. Being around friends and having fun will help you quit smoking successfully as you will be more relaxed and happier. At the same time, being around smokers can make your tobacco cravings worse so you should avoid this until you succeed quitting. 

Do use nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) if your doctor confirms that it is safe for you. Don't take herbal and other products that promise to help you quit smoking straight away. NRT boosts your chances of success by two times so you should use it to achieve your goal if you notice that your willpower along is not sufficient. The therapy is completely safe for healthy adults. You should stay away from suspicious products that offer magical results.

Do try again if you fail to quit smoking. Don't despair. Keep in mind that your chances of success increase by 20 per cent after each attempt.
